College Football Recruiting Blogs Are Under Attack
July 20, 2007
In an article written by the associated press in April, they try to make it clear that college football recruiting blogs and websites are tremendous distractions to high-school athletes and staff. The article quoted:Â
“Despite their popularity, they are increasingly coming under attack by coaches and administrators who argue they heap too much attention on young, impressionable student-athletes.”
Bobby Burton, editor-in-chief for Rivals.com expressed the following: “All we’ve done is bring to light something that’s been going on forever.â€
Mr. Fumbles says: “It is not the blogs and websites causing the problems, it is the ego of players, staff, and coaches that make way for troublesum situations”, “Just because your name is Michael Vick doesn’t mean you can do anything.”
The popularity of college football blogs and college football recruiting websites have exploded off the charts within the recent years. It seems as though in today’s society the focus is more on the players a team MIGHT get then the actual team itself. Some say this is why On Feb. 7, when most high school football stars signed a Division I national letter of intent, more than 70 million people logged onto Rivals.com. Amazing!
In light of the situation, college football blogs and websites should not be hassled. They are working for the fans of College Football period, they are not trying to ruin the lives of little children on a tee-ball team.
