Recruiting Hostesses

[dawgdr]

Just curious what would be everyone's opinion if they had a daughter that wanted to be one at State or another school? Are they legitimate at most schools?

Have a family member who is one and I have quizzed her extensively. They go through pretty good training on how to properly handle situations (no smart *** comments needed). They learn a lot about the history of the school and actually get course hours and grade, ours seem to be more ambassadors rather than hostesses. Most of their contact is in the Seal building and field prior to game and usually with their (the recruits) parents or guardians in tow.

The idea of a college either encouraging or facilitating your daughter essentially prostituting herself is repugnant in the extreme. It certainly seems to have happened at Ole Miss.

I'm with this guy. Even if it's on the up and up, it just seems creepy that your daughter is being used to recruit

There's nothing wrong with wanting beautiful/friendly people/peers around the recruits is not a bad thing at all. This goes beyond recruiting athletes.

Now, when they show up at the library (one without the books) ready to "show them a good time," It isn't showing them around the student union they have in mind.

There was a lot of smoke a few years ago about Auburn's sleeping with the recruits. Basically school gives them x number of bucks for "entertainment" which they use towards the kids stay.

I have a niece at an out of state SEC institution. She was asked to be a football hostess. Her parents asked me about it and I strongly discouraged it. She declined. Thankfully.

I was shown around MSU by a Professor, who happened to be the Department Head at the time, who taught the subjects that I was majoring in. And at one point a Grad student showed me around on campus as well.

Now granted I was not an athlete, but if I had been an athlete interested in playing Football at MSU I would want to be showed around campus by a Senior player, or a Coach, or even a former player. There are more than enough pretty girls walking around campus at MSU and most other schools to stare at---side note, I'm not sure when College girls started jogging around campus in just little Nike Tempo shorts & sports bras, but it is WAY better than the oversized T-shirts and sweatpants that they jogged in back in my day! So I really don't see a need to specifically hire attractive young female students to show athletes around campus.

I was doing a workshop at MSU a few years back, one of the people running the workshop was related to someone that worked in the Seal building. They got us a tour with one of the Girls that acted as an Ambassador or Hostess which ever title they use. She really knew a lot about the School and Football program. Very nice and very professional.

You guys just don't wanna win bad enough**

Just know for sure they are not somewhere else. Basically discouraged someone from letting their daughter be one. She didn't believe me, fortunately someone in their athletic department told her not to as well. At least they were honest with her. Was just curious if it was just that way everywhere.

No, I would not let my daughter do that. Do they still have RoadRunners? That is a totally different thing.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

wait... I was supposed to nail the girl that showed me around campus when I visited?

 

[PBRME]

Only if you are 6-5 250 and run a 4.4 40 time.

There are enough girls with daddy issues and low self esteem that my daughter being involved should be unnecessary.

Ozarka took care of it for you. No worries.
