Kids need an education ... they're a knee or a practice squad away from real life.

And even if you believe it is (I don't), the bargain they struck is playing a sport in exchange for being a student athlete. We all know they'll need the education for life after ball (you're conveniently forgetting that). And meanwhile, they want to play a sport, maybe even have a chance at the pros. They play because they love the game and like to compete. If they're not up for it, go to community college. No one's forcing them to accept a scholarship at an elite private school. I think we've spent enough time on this subject. [/QUOTE]
