Wrong. There are roughly three people under the age of 18 that still play tennis.

Basketball will always be the toughest athletic scholarship at D1 schools. The level of play to get there is extraordinary. That is serious talent.

Toughest to get scholarship is men’s tennis it’s no contest


Tennis is sooooo competitive. 2/3 of the men’s college teams are international students. Over 50% for women.

Lolz ok. Rowing is only for white privilege unathletic scrubs looking to check a mark on college applications


Lol. Ok You have no clue.

Son’s school is 80% minority (TJ). They have a historically successful crew program.


Yeah but that's because

I think there are more seats in college rowing boats than there are female high school rowers.


I think it has more to do with the fact that it is one of the only sports that you can start in high school and not be hopelessly behind your peers. There are very few sports where this is true. Rowing provides an opportunity for kids left out of the East Coast sports industrial complex.
