[quote=Anonymous]1. It's important to note very few D1 athletes are on full or even half scholarships. Many of kids on the soccer or swim team are just getting standard financial aid.

2. Why do so many kids end up at crap schools for athletics? Because those crap colleges only exist to offer post-high school athletic opportunities- they'd go bankrupt and fold were it not for offering Suzy and Jacob the chance to play the sport they're not even good at. And once out from under of their parents' thumb, Suzy and Jacob come to hate practice and playing in from on 10 people- they quit after the first year 90% of the time. They want to booze and participate in hookup culture like everyone else at their crummy college.

The travel sports obsession is soooooooo dumb. It's better than kids sitting on their ass all week but my God there are so many other things you and your kid could be doing other than 6 practices a week, 1 tournament, and perpetual facebook updates on how well Suzy did today.[/quote]
