@SomeBaseballDad posted:So if you are a baseball player, and you love baseball, the last thing you should do when considering a college is factor in the baseball program. Just assume the worst thing that could possibly happen that would preclude you from playing baseball will happen and then choose.
How about this. Given that almost all the people I know with a college degree are working at a job unrelated to that degree, consider the baseball program strongly. Because yes, that may very well be the last baseball you play.
You come to a baseball forum because you love baseball and want advice, and you're told the last thing you should think about is baseball.
The whole "woke" shit on this forum is really getting old.
Hey, you don't have to agree with it sunshine...but that is how my son and I approached it and it worked out great. At some point you have to stop being your son's "buddy" and actually be a dad and provide a voice of reason. I am not paying 30K a year for travel baseball (which is what college ball is for most of our kids). I am paying 30K a year (private D3) for him to get an education and be prepared when he is done in four years...at this point in life, baseball is just icing on the cake....but that was our approach, it doesn't have to be yours.
This whole "everybody has to agree with me or they are wrong BS" is getting old in this country.
