[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well this is all quite interesting but what’s even more interesting is that the international sports in college are primarily dominated by international students so they must be practicing somewhere somehow 🤔 [/quote]

Look at college soccer and the average age of the players…it is now early 20s…why?  It’s a lot of European players that were on the pro route but were told their pro careers were not leading anywhere.  Those players now come to the US (many TO) and are populating college teams.

Again, those players essentially went pro as teenagers.

It would be the equivalent of all the American kids on academy teams basically going to academy HS where you take class for 3 hours in the AM and then practice soccer for 5 hours.  One day Johnny was going to school with your kid and the next Johnny is now living at the DC United facility and that’s that.

Those kids would be the only ones playing in college and going pro and all the remaining kids would just play for fun.[/quote]
