What an ignorant statement, but expected from someone who hasn't even gone through the NLI process. The girls will certainly disagree with you about the "free" part, a lot of hard work involved, and they earn it.
Not ignorant at all- they receive "free tuition" in return for their bility to play a "game" There are many that think that is wrong(I do not) I alos knew a lot of "work study" students that had to work on campus for their "free tuition" Perhaps you are the ignorant one? Don't get me wrong, I think sports are a wonderful thing and I believe that student athletes posses special talents-my daughter being one of them. The fact remains is that most on this site are in pursuit of a college education "tuition free" and I think it ironic that they mock the candiadate that is offering just that
You sound like Bernie and his ignorant drones by using the word "free". These scholarship D1 players earn every dime of their scholarships, absolutely nothing free about it. "Pay to play" D3 parents are so clueless, they will rip on D1 players and the D1 structure, yet they want to be taken as serious as them.
Pay to play- your understanding of how DIII works is so off. Most DII players are recruited and need to earn their playing time. Walk-ons rarely make the team.I did pay(around $250k), (but not to play)but for a first class education that has landed her a career in which she probably makes more than most of the posters on this site- so the ROI was pretty good
and the sky is the limit. Are you saying that walk-ons and non-scholarship players at the DI and DII level are pay to play? As I said before, I think ALL student athletes work very hard and that scholarship athletes certainly do too. I think athletics are an important part of an education, As a matter of fact scholar-athletes make up a larger part of a DIII's student body than at a DI school(just saying) All I was doing was pointing out the obvious irony- but obviously it touched a nerve.
