So there is kid who is a regular at my house, has been for years. Great work ethic, great kid, hell of a player. He got offered at mid major 500 record school, the school is just under 60k per year, he got 60% (25% / 35%) combined athletic and academic. He is a covid JR and has played in a number of games with a handful of AB. He almost certainly wouldn't have attended said school due the financial commitment without baseball.

Is he wasting his time? he is paying 20k for a great school, alumni and the potential to play...same price if he had gone to a PSAC and been a rock star. I don't believe he is losing and from my conversations with him I think he has genuinely enjoyed his time so far.
