Michigan football has offered its second eighth-grader of 2018. Does this seem OK or a little too far?

Can something be completely absurd and no big deal at the same time?

If so, this is at the top of the list.

I have the same reaction that everyone else does when they see a headline about an eighth grader getting a scholarship offer.
