Never said it was a bad thing. I wish more kids could get the experience of playing college athletics. Mandatory study hall, 40-80 hours per week of practice, conditioning, travel, games, etc. That's some character building stuff. College sports were a great experience for both of my kids. To me, the level is pretty much irrelevant. Coach JUCO is going to demand just as much work, if not more, than Coach D1. I would love to see Spartanburg Community College and Greenville Tech add athletic programs.
I just wish fewer college athletes would opt for crip courses/majors. Odds are, baseball ain't ever gonna pay your bills, regardless of what level you play in college. Major in something that will lead to a good paying job.
