Just my 2 cents: College Sports isn’t where this epidemic started. Did you sign your 6 year-old up for travel sports? 4 different teams in the last year or 2? Did you quit Little League & your School’s rec team to travel to Texas & Florida at age 9. Is every weekend at the Travelodge with your kids numbered sweatshirt on at 8am, blaring some premade, walk up song montage. Did you move your kid to a new school that you don’t even live in multiple times in their high school career?chasing the, it’s so much better there mindset, because the friends parents talked you into it and your excuses was, just wanna be part of winners. Did you have a meeting to get the volunteer parent coach fired or the school’s admin coach fired because he/she didn’t play your kid? Did you pay a personal trainer thousands of dollars all to watch your kid get burned out and tell you this sucks I just wanna play video games? Do you run your kids, social media, YouTube and NIL-potential so that you can market the next big star. Folks, we’re all guilty of wanting something better but stop acting and blaming college sports. That ain’t the problem here. This happens way before they get to college. How much money does it take to buy you or your family? Did you fall for the ole… Better Join the, “ Select”, “Elite”, “Top”, “Premier” Team sales pitch? Only to figure out you just ended up funding the scholarships for the A-Team . ADULTS, kids learn from Adults, they are taught & influenced by Adults. The Great “Coach Baird” always called us Kids, because that’s what we were, immature, impressionable Kids. Loyalty, commitment, integrity, and honesty is taught at the foundation, start there and we fix the issue. I Bleed 💜💛 forever, & I”ll leave you with the legendary “Coach Hart” quote… “Move The Drill, 5 yards Up” GO DAWGS! ☔️
