My feeling is this. In today’s environment, it’s all about the money with few exceptions. Those exceptions also look at development in all aspects such as physical, mental, social, etc.. These kids are getting pulled in all directions and now have tremendous pressure to please everyone. They have agents, reps, handlers or whatever you want to call them. So, in the end, for most it’s about the money. Schools have to determine how much to spend at certain positions without an unlimited supply to throw around. Once again, it’s about the money. 50 years ago my father said to me “when it’s a decision made regarding business, it’s about the money.” JMO.
On a side note: if there’s no restrictions, these same kids will become portal jumpers.
