Then a great many “good” atheletes would flush out of school.

Oh, well. I would also say that High Schools also need to clean up their act as well. They are just as complicit.

Yep, and “Travel” teams, parents, and a host of others.

Most kids will not get scholarships. Most of those that do will not play pro. I get blasted because I haven’t started my 9 year in softball because “How will you pay for college?”

My daughter will hopefully get an academic scholarship, and learn something useful. She doesn’t want to play ball, she likes track and ballet. However, my wife and get told repeatedly that we are bad parents for not forcing her to do sports she doesn’t like in the hopes she might be good enough for a scholarship

So true... A high school here spent more in a football stadium than for computers... I heard that a high school built a football stadium that is 2x the size of the town and it cost 5 million...

Another reason we homeschool!
