Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 2144612, member: 1997"] It's all about the hype. It wasn't like this back in the 1980s. But now, with so much media and other attention from fans, the Signing Day is huge. Plus back in the day, kids were always leaving a school for whatever reason and folks didn't really care. Now it is a big deal. We want to know if a player is signing with a rival school or going to a school that has "X" player that is supposed to be the greatest thing ever. Lastly, schools want to release players as quick as possible because you don't want the school getting any negative press. Like somebody stated here. You don't want to lose potential talent because you, as a school/coach/AD, wants to play hard ball and teach a player a lesson. Not going to go over well. [/QUOTE]
