People are on here, claiming to be former DI athletes, raising DI athletes, their kids are spending, what, 1hr a day on their sport?
Maybe my math skills are off but in the one case you have a D1 athlete putting in 28-35 hours a week , in the other its like 13-15 hours a week. Pretty big difference .I think the original poster was saying that at max they are allowed 20 hours a week according to NCAA rules and sometimes its actually only 8 and they are correct. The 4-5 hour guy has no clue and honestly your 3-4 hours would put them over the maximum. If you don't think coaches are mindful of that you are mistaken. I get it that they work hard but no need to exagerate.
