The PG year has been around for a while and only becoming more of a factor for athletes. IMG already blurs the line about academics before athletics at the high school level. There are more IMG's coming, they could and probably should franchise north and west(haha).
I don't mean to make IMG out as evil. The private, prep, and/or parochial high schools all recruit their region just like a college does and charges money to play there. Look at the top 10 rankings of the major sports in any state now and only 2-5 are public schools. I looking at you LI and MD.
It will never be fair to a lot of the parents. The best way to level the field is simple. Practice, practice and smart training while the other kids are on their phones. The formula for success hasn't changed in 100 years, just more helicopter parents throwing money at clubs believing the promises.
Hmmm good insight. Is IMG only in Florida right now? Do you really think that IMG could grab girls from traditional hot beds and convince their parents to pay?
Its crazy to think about because non revenue sports don’t have much athletic scholarship $$ and the ivy and Nescac don’t give money unless need based.
