[quote=Anonymous]I've seen this three times since the start of this year - announcements on FB that someone's child is going to a particular school to play sports when I know for a fact the kid's academic stats could have gotten them into a MUCH better school. In each case, the chosen school was DII or DIII level, so chances of a full ride scholarship playing is very, very slim, and these aren't kids/sports where being a professional athlete is in the cards. I suppose they could have been offered more financial aid, but we live in VA, where in-state tuition to some very good schools is reasonable, and these kids would almost certainly be eligible for merit scholarships. How do you justify passing up UVA (for instance) for an obscure regional college in another state based purely on sports? [/quote]
