I came across this 2009 article about campus recruiting hostesses - it has an interesting quote from Gene Smith: https://deadspin.com/a-brief-history-of-campus-recruiting-hostesses-5422547/ . One thrust of the article is that ignorance is bliss (plausible deniability). Did/does tOSU have such a group?
How much of this type of activity still takes place? Seems like most recruiting discussions these days focus on NIL - but can honey mean more than money? Which schools have a reputation these days for this type of thing? Just askin'.
