Dear Twoinanddone,
Thank you for answering. My husband and I appreciate the University’s position on that, but again, why not have this form on the FA website then and have it on school letter head with an FA officer’s signature at bottom . Or simply, offer to match if/when an offer of admission and FA are made ?
Why freak a 17 year girl out by making her disclose all the details of who else is recruiting her as a condition of even applying for an FA pre-read. Isn’t it poor form for her to tell one coach all the details of her other recruit calls/ and visits last Spring ? Our daughter has never been asked this by anyone else recruiting her and she is scared that it will make the other coaches angry if she discloses all the details of competitor recruiting pattern like the form requires her to attest.
And why ask for a declaration from the 17 year old student but not have this form on the FA website and why isn’t it similarly signed by any rep from the school FA office ?
It reads like a recruiting Phish. Kind of intimidating for a 17 year old.
