While I completely agree that “elite” programs sell the dream too aggressively, D3 is accessible to decent athletes in most sports. You have to be careful here though- my son loves it and got regular playing time, but most of his friends from freshman year didn’t graduate with him, or graduated but left the team.

“D3 sucks,” you say. “No scholarships!” True, but he got a lot more merit scholarships than he probably deserved, had responsibility to other people which helped keep his grades up, and had a great support system. All very good things.

You mean they have interests other than sports? The audacity. High school basketball season is a full time commitment. Between practice and games these kids are at it six days a week. They also have to keep their grades high enough so they don’t get kicked off the team. It sounds like you’re trying to shame them for wanting to have jobs, pursue other hobbies, or simply spend time with family and friends.
