This lady just won't quit.

What's going on with the hot recruiting teams all instilling the buzzword "family"? I don't hear that much with Alabama recruits recently. Are we losing out on a lot of good recruits due to a few programs really selling this concept better than us? I remember in highschool a few of my peers (Willie Anderson and D. Craig) in Mobile coming back from the Alabama visit after they had won the championship claiming they didn't get that warm feel (though now I wonder if it was something else that swayed them to Auburn). Anyway, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or info to share on this.

A bit exaggerated of course, but some of these comparisons are spot on. For instance, most people don't realize the existence of tax subsidies that even poor people pay so these guys can add more to profit lines. Major league sports are great examples of the perversion of markets and these negotiations express interesting trends.
