[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swam D3 and turned down D1 swimming scholarships.  I absolutely valued the fact that I could quit anytime.  I would have loved my college of choice without the swimming.  I have good athletic children and would NOT want them on an athletic scholarship for all the reasons the OP stated.  The parents that never played a sport and push their 9 yr olds in an effort to save themselves a buck so they can drive their fancy cars and fund their fancy vacations rather than saving for college freak me out. . .

I also happen to value a[b] liberal arts education and they don't tend to be found at big Division I programs.  [/b]Loved D III sports.  Good balance with other interests and still very serious about your sport.  No one plays or coaches at the college level if they're not committed to their sport. [/quote]
This doesn't sound accurate. Of the 7 schools I was recruited by, 6 were liberal arts schools.

I also think it's totally ridiculous to claim parents push their 9 year olds in hope of a scholarship so they can drive fancy cars. Sorry you don't like someone in your peer group, PP, but they are an outlier.[/quote]
