Oh sure, it was cute when Jim Harbaugh started sleeping over at recruits' houses, once you set aside the image of a grown man sliding into a sleeping bag on the floor of a teenager's bedroom.
Okay. Cute is definitely the wrong word.
It's icky, but let's face it, most of the recruiting process in college football is. The hundreds of letters. The promises and — you know it's happening some places — the payouts. If the whole process doesn't make your skin crawl just a little bit, you're not paying attention. And, if that's the case, good for you.
