EARLY RECRUITING ISSUES

"STUDENT-ATHLETE"

Early recruiting undermines the NCAA intercollegiate athletic model and the importance of being a "student-athlete"

"WELL-BEING"

Early recruiting is detrimental to the physical, emotional and mental "well-being" of a student-athlete

TRANSPARENCY

Early recruiting lacks transparency with student-athletes "committing" years before the college admissions process.
