Can people give a rest to the whole Tuesday date thing. I am sure it was set to cater to prep/boarding school kids who don't have school that week. These kids generally don't have the opportunity to join any of the individual showcases during NOvember due to the fact that they have school on most Saturdays! For other kids, it's up to the parent and child to determine whether or not they can afford (academically) to take the date off. It is highly unlikely that any of the boys' academic well-being would be destroyed by missing a day of school, but that is between the boy and his parents and not the gang of opionated bloviators on this board!
The real point here is that somebody has to take a stand against mid-week school day recruiting events if the NCAA doesn't want to. It's not so much a condemnation of the 175 but a pre-emptive strike against the dozens of other showcases that would no doubt spring up on Mondays-Thursdays thoughout the school year if nobody does anything to put a lid on it and confine it to the weekends. Having said that, if Corrigan Sportsw and the IMLCA now go ahead and try to schedule a mid-week recruiting showcase, that would be the ultitmate hypocracy. However, if they don't, then we should probably all thank them for trying to keep the recruitng madness contained to the weekends.
