[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. [b]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. [/b] 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] I'm calling bs on this. My husband and I both worked in recruiting for technical jobs for years. At no point was anyone ever considered because of the sport they played in high school or college. I also think the poster who mentioned special recruiting for college athletes is not being entirely honest. If there is special recruiting it is because the college is worried the athletes don't have enough to get jobs. [/quote]
