[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]33% of D1 athletes quit their sport, 50% of those are due to injury. It very hard to make it through all 4 years ... injury, time commitment, playing time, etc. That is why athletes are highly recruited to jobs ... it's hard and they are in a very small percentage of the population who can actually do it. I do find it odd, though. When the chance of being an athlete is so low, and then the chance of making it 4 years is only 66%.. that I know a ton of athletes that did it and did it at highly academic schools. [/quote] Thanks for the data, though a citation would be nice. A third, while significant and likely higher than at other division levels given the extreme commitment, nowhere near the OP’s absurd original claim of almost all. Do you also find it odd that kids start college at all given the average graduation rate, which is even lower? Nobody goes in thinking they will fail. [/quote]
