Top Football Coaches Favor All-Star Tilts
CHARLESTON West Virginia University coach Gene Corum and Marshall coach Charley Snyder support an NCAA ruling that a player loses a year of eligibility for playing in an unsanctioned all star game before college. Corum says all star games create more WVU players than they lose while Snyder notes many Big Green coaches wait to recruit until after such games. The SSAC has not taken a stand. a player could lose a year if he enrolls in an NCAA school and played in these contests. Both coaches expect scholarships only for top prospects and foresee two years of varsity play if an all star game is used prior to college.
