[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could ask the same question about why do anything in college? Why join the marching band or a sorority or work at the school newspaper? Presumably because it's [b]something you enjoy doing[/b]. All of these things take up time and end once college is over but they are still [b]activities that provide enjoyment and instill a lot of valuable life lessons that will serve them in the future.[/b] [/quote]

This. The point is get involved in something. Two of my kids are at big 10 schools pursuing science degrees. One is a D1 athlete and the other does extracurricular music clubs. Both are learning so much through their involvement and probably invest a similar amount of time on them.

As someone pointed out participation in the D1 has its perks: scholarship, meals and academics supports (registers early and has weekly academic advising- if his grades slip it is addressed.)

I trust the skills they’ve gathered will be useful  I also hope it’ll be recognized as having some value once they enter the workforce.

Good luck! [/quote]
