Never viewed it as an investment or future windfall in scholarship money. My on age D1 commit is not projected to receive much more than that in athletic aid than the annual expense figure you accurately show. But it has been a great experience playing with and against some of best kids in his class for the past four years despite the time and expense involved. If the kid has the passion and skill to play at that elite club level and the parents can afford it - why the angst? What I find absurd is the kids that holdback / reclassify! |
