Football is out of control. Playing and all star game in late January. TSSAA needs to step in.

Why should they step in. These players are no longer eligible and recruiting is still going in, NAIA and Division II type players can use the exposure.

Plenty of film on these kids. Exposure camps all summer. TSSAA should require post season all star camps to be complete prior to January 1. Any participation after that would make player eneligible for other sports. Probably not a good solution. Just can't stand the brain washing that coaches, trainers, etc do with this kids. If you play only football, go to summer camps, play passing league, go to an all star game you will get a scholarship. To me it just seems like a lot of adults are misleading kids. And steal their teenage years by making promises they can't keep. I have heard too many coaches tell young men. "If you play another sport you will get behind in football. You have to focus on football only if you want a scholarship". Which we know is a lie as the majority of College athletes played multiple sports.

 

Sorry bout a rant from an old man. Just miss the days when the best athletes in school were given the opportunity and joy of playing multiple sports in high school without pushy over zealous coaches pressuring kids to play football only.

I go d this laughable! My experience in 20 years of coaching has been football pressing kids to play only 1 sport was the minority. With AAU Basketball Fall league baseball, football is truly the only sport that doesn't go year round. I am a firm believer that a kid should be allowed to be a kid and play as many sports as they want in high school. An all-star game that lasts a week for most kids that are going to college in that sport anyway is not damaging anyone. If you want to rail against specification might want to look at Basketball and Baseball and how players are told you got to play AAU and summer/Fall league to get exposure so you can get recruited!!
