[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The return is much higher with academic preparation.

However parents spend insane amounts of money and time to encourage a particular sport. Once college comes around they're so locked into the suck cost that they're willing to send their kid to a lower ranked school that promises a spot on the team (no scholarship!)

There was a thread recently about "signing day" and how proud the parents were of their kids for making it on any team. It sounds like a scam quite honestly. You spend tons of money on a sport in hopes of a scholarship, but when college comes around you end up having to restrict your choices to lower ranked schools just so your kid can make it on a team. And you're still paying the full tuition!

Sigh. [b]People love sports though.[/b] [/quote]

What does a parent do when it is not they that loves the sport but their child who is passionate about playing on any level?[/quote]

It's their dream/life not yours.  You support their passion.[/quote]
