[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]send their kids to small mediocre colleges that have no brand name? Obviously not talking about any elite LAC or UChicago. Facebook is full of parents bragging their kid is continuing their "sports career" at ~expensive no-name private college~.

There aren't any scholarships in DII or DIII so they're basically paying $30K-65K so their child can play sports in front of dozens of fans?[/quote]

A really showy female colleague has been spamming on Facebook that her sporty, high GPA senior daughter has just COMMITTED to a college. I have literally never in my life heard of the school. Cedarville University. Google says it's some podunk college in the middle of nowhere Ohio. The way this woman has been obnoxiously bragging and spamming for the last ten years you would have thought the daughter was destined to be a star at UVA or Duke.[/quote]

Not sure why you are resurrecting a long dead thread but "so what". If it brings joy to her and her DD that she was "recruited" and gets to play a sport that is obviously very meaningful to her why are you anything other than happy and supportive? It seems to me the problem is what you see what you look in a mirror not in a mom happy for her daughter.[/quote]

When you shamelessly serial brag for YEARS on end on a public social medium don't be surprised if people laugh and sneer you when your lofty claims don't come to fruition. These sort of parents have zero humility. They're frankly jackasses who've been hustled by the travel sports industrial complex.[/quote]

But they are better people than the likes of you. So at least they have that.

Imagine thinking the way you do and being such a raging, festering twat?[/quote]
