[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hundreds of high school students play sports in high school but only a handful will play in college. Do we ask why those kids play high school sports? Such a strange discussion.[/quote]

If you don't understand the difference, you either did not play college sports or played too much college sports.[/quote]

DP. I played college sports. It is not that different in that there is a range of experience for different athletes across different sports. There were intramural, intermural (even travel!) , and D1 players at my school, and all put time and energy into it because they loved it. Some D1 players had scholarships that allowed them to graduate debt free.  Most were in less popular sports like rowing and fencing, were walk-ons and/or did not have scholarships.  Some sports required all of their free time and some varying lesser amounts of time.  They also played for as long as they loved it and moved on, just like high school.  There are some high school players who devote enormous amounts of time to it, as much as college players, and then do not play in college, while  others play recreationally in high school and then do not continue into college. Some go to college and pick up the tuba. It is all good.  Or all bad, if you think its bad![/quote]
