Josh Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Hi folks. A story I have been working on at my station in Central New York has finally come to fruition. Through a FOIL request, we received documents from a local school district that alleges it's head coach, former NFL player Tim Green, illegally recruited kids to play for his HS football team. HIGH SCHOOL! The district had been receiving unsolicited reports from both student-athletes and coaches from other districts that Skaneateles coaches had tried recruiting at least nine student-athletes who live outside the district. Those kids were promised an apartment in Skaneateles with video games and a big screen television in exchange for moving to the district to play football. Just curious what you thought about it...is it surprising in today's day and age? Surprised this is happening in high school sports? Or nothing new..? http://centralny.ynn.com/content/top_stories/561722/skaneateles-releases-report-on-recruiting-questions/ Edited October 26, 2011 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Nothing new. I remember something similar back in the '80s when I was in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
