CBS should look into acquiring Collegiate Sports of America as well. CSA / Prepstar is used by more than 17,000 coaches at more than 2,000 colleges and universities throuhout the nation. CSA also publishes Prepstar magazine which is considered the #1 high school football recruiting magazine in the country. CSA / Prepstar is the leader in college recruiting with over 40,000 student athletes recruited since 1981. They would make a nice fit with CBS and MaxPreps.
