[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these sporty d3 kids quit after a year and transfer out of the expensive private. It’s no fun going to college where you don’t know anyone, you play your sport in front of smaller crowds than high school games, you’re the worst player or lowest seniority and the coach plays favorites, so suddenly training at 6am or burning a weekend to travel to another podunk college doesn’t seem like a great use of time. And mom and dad are hours away and can’t be the boss of you anymore.[/quote]

Some kids may stop playing but, barring extenuating circumstances, they are not losing their merit aid. This isn't D1.[/quote]

Even with the merit aid, private college is very expensive. Nobody is going for free. These travel sports parents living through their kids lie and exaggerate everything. The rose loses its bloom fast when the kid takes agency doesn’t want to play a sport anymore & they’re homesick at the podunk college because all of their high school friends are at a fun and cheaper state school.[/quote]
