[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a few delusional parents with "student-ATHLETES" at nobody private colleges have found this thread...

I'm glad your snowflake can continue their athletic career in front of a crowd of 9 people. Please enjoy the degree from a college nobody has ever heard of.[/quote]

What I'm not getting is why you think that the "nobody heard of it" element is related to the sports.

My kid will go to a "private college that nobody has heard of".  I fully admit that.  If we went public, it would be a "state school nobody has heard of".  If we went D1, it would be either a "D1 school nobody's heard of" or a "D1 school you've only heard of because they have a good sports team".  Yes whether or not he plays might impact where he goes, because he likes to play, but it's not like he's choosing between UVA and not playing and "nobody" schools and playing, because that's not how it works.   So, given that the money is similar, why is it so terrible that he gets to play in front of a crowd of 9 people?  He gets to do something that makes him happy, builds work ethics, keeps his body healthy, and doesn't hurt anyone.  [/quote]
