"Fueled by the lure of Name, Image and Likeness money in college, families are delaying high school so their sons can get bigger, stronger and more recruitable"
WSJ:
Families are turning to consultants like ... a Virginia private school counselor with a sideline as a “reclass specialist.”
...
“The interest in doing it for athletic reasons has gone vertical over the last decade,” said ... an administrator at the Cardigan Mountain School, an $80,000-a-year New Hampshire junior boarding school where boys repeating eighth grade make up the largest cohort of new students.
...
Sixty other boys are repeating a grade at the same academy, The Togethership, where coursework includes throwing mechanics, game film review and nutrition along with traditional subjects such as Algebra and English.
...
In the prep sports mecca of Southern California, at least 15 schools and academies now advertise reclassification for eighth-graders. Orange County’s largest public school district, Capistrano Unified, is rolling out its own taxpayer-funded athletic holdback year this fall.
