Quick question. My son is coming off what he believes is a sub par year at a d1 school. He received an athletic scholarship there and is worried the coach won’t renew at the end of the year. Can a college coach choose not to renew an athletic scholarship based on athletic performance? Thanks

I hope I haven’t ruin his chances. I completely mis-understood contact coaches as early as possible “only if your son plays varsity”

jim medley – When a young man or woman graduates from college without having $100,000 in student loans because they played a sport, then college scholarships are clearly not a waste. Here are a few more FACTS to consider: 1) A student-athlete learns the value of teamwork, time-management skills, hard work in pursuit of a common goal, and how to work through adversity, making them extremely valuable to employers. 2) Employers will hire the college graduate who doesn’t have a great deal of debt. 3) A greater percentage of athletes graduate on time than non-athletes. 4) The point of college athletics is educational, not to become a pro. Less than 1% of all college athletes turn pro. Finally, your last statement is completely off base. Just look at the percentage of pro players in the 3 main sports who competed at the collegiate level. That’s a by-product of the quality of competition, not because that’s the goal. I’m glad you’re reading these posts and I trust the education you gain here will ameliorate your evident and embarrasing lack of knowledge.

College scholarships are a waste! These kids are not compensated near enough for the 4 – 5 years they give these colleges. If you consider the time and expense most kids incur preparing for college sport you could practically pay college tuition. Screw these colleges and their sports programs! The degree they able to obtain are worthless compared to a curiculam they could handle without sports. I would encourage them to pay for college and consider pro sports if they really have the talent. College sporrs do very little to prepare them for pro sports.
