[quote=Anonymous]There are many different experiences, OP. I'm sorry yours was negative. But also, playing 2 sports is a bit strange and extreme. My D1 scholarship experience was very positive. I never had to do donor dinners or other any other obligations outside of training. I didn't mind not being able to work during the school year because, well, playing sports was a much better job than working retail. I got to pick my classes before all other students so I never missed a class or had to rearrange my schedule since I could chose the classes that worked with practices and games and travel. I was home for breaks and did train on my own, but it wasn't hard to go running and lift weights for 1-2 hours a day... it was actually a welcome break from being home with my family all day.

Honestly, playing sports kept me in line. My grades were great when I was playing and fell apart the season I took off. I think you have to look at the athlete, the program, the sport, etc. There are so many factors, but my experience was wonderful.[/quote]
