[quote=Anonymous]Reading the long post a few above this from an athlete parent makes me think we need a D1 sports commiseration/inspiration thread in the General Sports forum. I too now understand why a lot of businesses prioritize college athletes. If you demonstrate that you can perform well on the field, get decent grades, and accept as normal a situation where your teammates are trying to steal your spot, your coaches feel free to yell at and humiliate you and work you until you collapse (sometimes literally, and in your own vomit), and you are willing to play through illness and injury? Why wouldn't that be attractive for a company looking for a hard worker (corporate cog)?[/quote]
