Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 139064, member: 285"] I'm going to make an overly broad generalization, but here goes...because the kids that are being recruited to play football and basketball largely have no interest in attending college, but for the fact that it is a necessary step in trying to advance to a pro career in these two sports. The kids that are playing non-revenue generating sports in college are attending college because they want to get a degree and advance on to a career of some sort. Athletics is either a way to dfray the cost of that degree (scholarship or partial scholarship) or it is a diversion from academics same as participating in a service organization or joining a fraternity - albeit with a bit greater investment of time. Maybe this was intended to be a rhetorical question.... [/QUOTE]
