1.04M kids played HS football last season. About 6,600 held a Rivals star rating… roughly 0.6%.
That's not a talent gap. It's a capacity gap. Our scouts have always focused on FBS prospects, and FCS, D-II, NAIA and D-III kids rarely get their film watched.
Rivals Recruits puts the same scouts, held to the same standards, on more of that film.
You can pay for an evaluation. You can't pay for the result.
Great resource and link for all college coaches and scouts. More opportunities for athletes.

This is the head of Rivals/On3 defending the practice of charging high school players for ranking consideration.
Or it's Claude or ChatGPT defending that practice. Not sure
Exclusive: Many House Republicans have significant problems with the Protect College Sports Act in its current form, sources tell FOS.
Issues range from the athlete employment question to the expansion provision.

@Phil5514@slmandel It’s not Stewart. He’s right, actually. The problem is the Overton window here.
Of course we shouldn’t cap those coaches’ salaries just like of course we shouldn’t cap the player salaries
But we only get to discuss one of those items or it becomes “unserious”.
This won't get in the bill, of course, but it IS the most ideologically consistent thing to add if you're going to restrict athlete compensation/movement in the name of establishing financial sustainability.
Doesn't feel very American though, does it? Sit with that thought!
