re: Missouri ain't come to play school

I don't really see the advantage of paying high schoolers.

They don't transfer to IMG?
How many kids are at risk of IMG recruiting?

Paying high schoolers is the definition of sunken cost.
It has no capital... no collateral for keeping a kid in college.

You're going to pay me money to keep me in high school? Sure. I will take it.
Someone else offers me more money to go away to college? Now I'm hooked on the notion of going to the highest bidder.
