[quote=Anonymous]"College athlete" covers a huge variety of experiences, from D1 football players to people like me: I went to a Div III school, was on the JV team for a couple of years, then benchwarmer for one (so I'm in the NCAA athlete database as a official former varsity athlete), then quit. During the season, it was a couple of hours of practice, and an occasional game. It was fun and not a huge commitment. I was never great (in large part because I wasn't that committed), but our school had a strong team, so I was still as good as or better than many other players at schools with weaker teams who were also officially NCAA athletes. (Today, there are about half a million college athletes, and about 15 million undergrads, so about 3 percent of students are athletes.)[/quote]
