[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having not been a college athlete myself, I would say: --Admissions boost to somewhere they wouldn't otherwise go --Fun/enjoy the game/part of their identity/difficult to see that ending after HS --Scholarship money at schools who give it --Wasn't planning on a particularly difficult major anyway, so can put time into the sport --Like the competition/travel --Some are legit thinking they may be able to "go pro," and some are right [/quote] Admissions boost applies to maybe <1% of student-athletes who go play at some place more selective than they would have otherwise gotten into. Athletic scholarships also apply to maybe <1% of student-athletes who go D1.[/quote]
