[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d rather my sporty kids attend namebrand UVA or UMD and play club or intramural sports, than some backwater no name school that only exists to exploit travel-sports obsessed parents. I’m convinced these schools would be insolvent were they not able to convince hundreds of gullible parents each year they are “recruiting” their student-athlete child.[/quote] This is what I've seen and don't understand. Why do parents go along with this? [/quote] Do you have evidence that these presumably not very academically oriented kids of gullible parents have much of a shot at getting accepted to UVA or UMD? It doesn’t seem very likely. [/quote] Not pp but I knew kids who got in to better schools but went to no names to play their sport. Only one graduated at all. [/quote] 88% of college athletes graduate so that is an outlier. [/quote]
