At midnight last night, as most of you were either sound asleep or riding off the high of a Thunder win, college football coaches across the country began dialing up high school juniors as the contact period officially began for Class of 2022 prospective college athletes.
It’s one of the many silly yet hilarious NCAA rules that makes for quite a scene: elderly men calling 17- and 18-year-olds at the strike of midnight for the sake of declaring — for the first time — that they are one of their top targets. It’s as cheesy and corny as it sounds.
