The signing was attended by 20+ family members and friends followed by a big luncheon. Yes, Signing Day has become a huge production as parents celebrate the accomplishments of their child. But with the skyrocketing cost of a four-year college degree (a $60,000+ price tag), it is easy to understand the relief that parents must feel as their family budgets are liberated. National Signing Day is a big deal so celebrate it in style!!!Dr. Kayla Peakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096597721586884737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483704792087713531.post-76792914210898218242013-02-14T09:29:48.481-06:002013-02-14T09:29:48.481-06:00I'm sure this happens more than we know, but t...I'm sure this happens more than we know, but this is the first time that I have heard about it to this extreme. I have never heard of a parent refusing to sign a letter of intent on signing day, I would think parents would want to work this out in private before National Signing Day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149500167914289320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483704792087713531.post-27240537093213917172013-02-14T08:57:24.737-06:002013-02-14T08:57:24.737-06:00Signing day should be a fun and exciting day in an...Signing day should be a fun and exciting day in any new upcoming athlete but parents are not always ready to let go and let their children start making their own decisions based on what they want. I wonder how many cases there are when parents ruin a signing day for an athlete. Also I wonder how many athletes feel like they had to sign where they did sign because of parents who want them to go to a certain school. In my opinion a lot of times parents just don’t want to have to come to the realization that their babies are growing up and there comes a time when their children have to start making decisions for them and start living on their own. <br /><br />Does this often happen on the signing day in football? How many stories like this are reported a year? Is there a certain website where stories like this are reported?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334317802579701514noreply@blogger.com
