Really stupid this day and age. Schools are allowed to bargain with athletes but you cant call them? Yea I know so called dead period but we all know there is no true dead period today
Not so sure about that.
I've been a one-man company for 42 plus years. Because of that, when I get a phone call, I have to take it. So all the calls that others don't have to answer, I need to answer. They might be a new customer. I get six to twleve a day that are pure junk, but I have to take them
. When kids are being recruited, they get lots and lots of phone calls a day. You know, they are actually high school students who have a ton of other things to do. Having the dead periods, especially during times before a particular signing time, or when they might be studying for finals, to give them a breadk is a good idea, to allow them from being pressured during those times. The dead periods aren't there to please football fans, or fans of any other sport. They're there for the benefit of the prospective players. Most of the time, they're a great idea. And if one coach is seeking an advantage during recruiting, when no one else has the "courage" to. And seeking that advantage over the other coaches, deserves some kind of punishment.
