[quote=Anonymous]Not a fan of OP’s approach but I’ve certainly encountered the “junior’s talking to Princeton” smugness that generally doesn’t result in junior going to Princeton. I usually find it funny but occasionally grating, and in the latter case I’ll admit to a teeny weeny little bit of satisfaction when it goes sideways. I’ve also encountered kids making college choices almost exclusively on the sport, which seems like a terrible idea. But many of these kids really want to have that college sports experience and the instant friend group it provides. I’d also argue that while OP may never have heard of the schools in question it might be a dream school for that kid. When my daughter says Colby or Kenyon, two she really likes and where she’s hoping to play sports, she gets the who/what/where look. I’m sure those people think we are just trying to justify all the sports time and expense but it simply isn’t true. [/quote]
