Message: [QUOTE="dollarbill44, post: 312906, member: 686"] Because it takes a very mature athlete to be able to endure the demands of two D1 sports and maintain good academic standing. It wasn't as hard in the old days where the off-season was truly an off-season when the coaches would tell you to go to class and stay out of trouble for the next 8 months. Athletes are expected to participate in year-round programs. Coaches didn't use to get fired for back to back losing seasons like they do now, so they are less likely to entertain the idea of one of their top athletes risking injury in another sport. [/QUOTE]
