Early kickoffs hamper recruits' campus visits
University of Arkansas football Coach Sam Pittman has made no secret about the negative impact of 11 a.m. kickoffs have on recruiting.The early games severely limit recruits and their families' ability to travel to Fayetteville, especially prospects from non-bordering states. The 2:30 p.m. or later kickoffs allow a few more hours of travel time, thus giving more prospects a better chance of attending.
Approximately 45 prospects made their way to Fayetteville for the Hogs' game against Auburn last Saturday, but their alarm clocks went off very early.
