I have given much thought to schollys extended and taken by children of head coaches (football and basketball), esp since very applicable at Iowa, as both coaches have kids that are studs (and most definitely worthy of schollys). Obviously, other schools wouldn't waste much effort trying to recruit another teams coaches kids, no matter how great they are.
And, we know that any BIG football or basketball coach is getting paid millions. WHY WOULDN'T THE COACHES PAY THEIR KIDS WAY INTO SCHOOL?!?! THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING MILLIONS. Most other kid's dad's are NOT millionaires. In fact, for the inner city kids who tend to get most of the schollys, it's quite the opposite.
SO, IF YOU WERE THE COACH (MAKING MILLIONS), WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO USE THAT SCHOLLY TO GET ANOTHER STUD (AND PAY FOR YOUR KID, AS A WALK-ON). In essence, you would have 'extra bullets' in your holster---therefor giving you an ADVANTAGE over other coaches = better chance of success = pay raises, extended contracts, etc = MORE MILLIONS.
Don't get me wrong, KF and FM have kids that are studs and deserving of schollys. I would just love to see them use that to their advantage (especially since IA tends to have many recruiting disadvantages already working against them).
Thoughts on this? Any NCAA rules against doing this?
