These kids are told over and over again what the rules
are concerning parents, contacts with agents , yada yada yada.

My daughter had to sit through four 1 hour presentations about
contact between colleges and players her junior and senior year
at AAU tourmanments not associated with school. Had to sign
forms that she understood... I had to listen
to the same Dick Vitale video on all the contact rules 4 different times
and sign papers. It is ridiculous how careful they are.

After kids sign up with a school they are pounded with all the other rules.
Most of them know these rules better than any class they are taking.

No excuses.
Except maybe stupidity.
