    Is the current system of camp circuits and all star games and just good ol scouting broken? Whe yiu look at the offer lists of the top 350 kids or so there is no shortage of schools offering. Take that Fox kid whose mom is fending of fanatic Miami fans. She stated her kid had 61 D1 scholarship offers. So if this designed for showcasing the elite junior and senior HS kids in the country like the flier stated then it's not gonna help the little guy who doesn't have a shit ton of offers already.

    Everything is changing and it's about getting out in front of the NIL wave. I can see this working.
    As I said before, it's like an extended Elite 11 for every position.

    That’s if they are a local team traveling. Not nearly as expensive.

    Those aren’t seniors those are graduates(hopefully). The summer after finishing eligibility the kids should be enrolled in college. To get ready for their first year of college football.

    The proposed 6 week league will run April through May. They would still be in high school taking classes.

    I guess I should have read it. lol. Doesn’t change much. I doubt colleges are going to want to risk players being hurt by something they aren’t in control of.

    The colleges wouldn't have any say. It would be run by a private org and before hs players enroll. Many already play 7-7 leagues during the summer.
