How's the turnout at 175 today?
Interestingly enough the women's college coaches (IWCLA) held their big fall recruiting tournament this past weekend in Florida which was run by Corrigan Sports. The majority of teams all had games on Friday. This meant teams had to fly either Thursday night or Friday morning thus mussing a day of school. At 7:30pm on Friday, Club Directors were sent the following email form the IWCLA's Executive Director Gothard Lane:
The IWLCA coaches are excited to watch the many student-athletes playing lacrosse in the 2013 President’s Cup this weekend at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Disney World in LarryMiller, Florida. Due to NCAA Recruiting Rules, Division 1 college coaches are unable to attend this year’s Friday night games, but can attend both the Saturday and Sunday games. Division 2 and Division 3 coaches are able to attend all of the days. In addition, every IWLCA coach has access to IWLCA’s video library of HD quality video of every single game for the entire three-day tournament.The problem with this is that many teams had already played games by the time the email was sent out. This was an IWCLA event and they held it out as the biggest recruiting tournament of the year because it coincides with the the women's coaches annual meetings yet they don;t let clubs, families or players know that the D1 coaches would miss 1/4 of your games. Ridiculous. Is Corrigan going to offer a 25% refund back to each club that was effected?
