You are looking at it from the coach's point of view. You need to look at it from the student athlete's point of view. That is, miss two days of school in January (non holiday week) so that you can be seen by coaches in June/July. This is actually worse than 175.
The only way to discourage the event organizers is by hurting their wallet. In this case the only way to do it is to instruct coaches that they cannot attend Jake Reed in June/July
175 is called national, but at least it is located in the region it is primarily selling its product to. 3d is in Florida or Arizona and requires significant travel for nearly all participants.
There are never any college coaches at the 3D blue chip event in Florida - It's not a recruiting opportunity in and of itself so it's not comparable to the deplorable behavior of the 175.
