[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a few parents on DCUM who are deeply resentful that many athletes have enormous drive and discipline. It comes out in weird ways. [/quote]

Nobody is resentful of you living through your mediocre athlete child. We recognize you’re delusional and even if your kid plays in college, 99% chance it’s a crappy college and they quit after freshman year. THAT’S almost alwaya how this ends.[/quote]

I don't have a mediocre athlete child. I only read these threads because I find people like OP and you to have entertainment value. I mean it's pretty easy to see your seething resentment. It's not like you hide it.[/quote]

Agree re the entertainment value. There is a lot of “seething resentment” on the College Forum directed towards athletes recruited to Ivies and other top schools as well.  So athletes get sneered at if they attend mediocre colleges and incite rage if they attend elite ones. I wonder if there is a level of college these judgy anti-athlete posters find acceptable?[/quote]
