[quote=Anonymous]Personally I think it is a tragedy that so many parents spend more than the cost of 4 years of college tuition jetting around the country on crazy travel sports teams with 12-18 year olds in some la=la land of mindset that their little prodigy will somehow beat the odds and be the 1 in a million that actually gets recruited to play college sports. Really? And then the parents wake up when their little angel graduates (or doesn't graduate) with a sports marketing degree from Podunk U. and has no job prospects? AND they have paid for tuition anyway because turns out there were only 3 full-ride tuition scholarships and the little dumpling was 4th on the coach's list? Let the kid go to his sports tournament (probably 1 of about 20 for the season), but I hope your sister will still attend your wedding, which is a WAY more important life event, imo.[/quote]
