[quote=Anonymous]^^Most of the schools you are making fun of are D2. Every kid I know who has gone the D2 route has done it for financial reasons--between need based aid and athletic money, they typically don't pay much, if anything, for college. Many of them were on financial aid at their clubs and many would not have gone to college at all were it not for their desire to keep playing. It's only on DCUM and other forums where I hear people talking about $$ spent on club soccer vs. potential scholarship $$ as if they are ledger items. Everyone I know whose kid is still playing in HS is happy to have supported an activity their kid loves, and one that keeps them healthy and too busy to get into much trouble. Some of us are lucky enough to also see their kid get athletic money and/or an admissions boost to a great college out of it, but that's a bonus, not the goal. [/quote]
