[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like seeing the announcements, I'm very happy for all of these kids and their families.

In fact I'd rather see these announcements for "awful colleges in the middle of nowhere" than the ones bragging about their kids committing to Michigan, UVA, whatever other schools OP mentioned.[/quote]

You are as bad as OP.  Why can't parents post on their social media page where their kid is going to college?  They are excited.  Live and let live.  OP doesn't want "crappy" schools and you don't want better schools.  It's a big benchmark for these kids, and their parents, let them enjoy the moment.[/quote]

It’s not just a single, brief post about where the kiddo is going to college. For literally 10 years these travel sports parents have bragged and posted every single event, check-ins, hundreds of pictures with trophies and medals, and humble bragging about Larla and Lincoln’s top 3 finishes. They whispered to anyone in earshot their kiddo was getting looks from Ivies and maybe D1s, whatever the case, “playing at the next level” was assured ... so when the kiddo ends up at a backwater LAC you’ve never heard of, it’s puzzling. And they always seem to announce this with a 300 word brag post filled with “blessed” and “all the sacrifice was worth it.” We never get the posts letting us know Larla quit the sport after her freshman year.[/quote]
