you are absolutely correct...this IS a good thing. previously, kids in 8th grade and younger could be contacted, pursued, and recruited by colleges without any rules governing this process. now, those schools that wish to do this must follow NCAA guidelines that will limit access to these kids.

as we've seen with other areas of life in the U.S., little or no regulation/oversight leads to larger problems which require substantially more difficult solutions to be implemented after the fact.
