...... assuming they still get the chance to go to a University. That dream of financial assistance through secondary sports scholarships is crashing at many universities.
I put myself through school, ok well 50% of it. If I had not left my emplyer I could have got it all paid for but I wanted to move on with my life so I bit the bullet.
Everyone can go to school in this country, whether you get a 4 year party break on mummy and daddy's dime, pay your own way, or get a job with tuition assistance...everyone can do it--heck you can even join the military and get a degree.
With all due respect, I'm not going to worry too much about how hard anyone's kid trained and wring my hands because they didn't get a scholarship--regardless of the sport.
One sport shouldn't get all the scholarship pie I fully agree but lack of a scholarship is a poor excuse not to get an education. Even if you have to wait a few years.
