DI baseball-75 hour per week job

infielddad10,000+ posts

I am a little surprised this had not been posted and discussed.
Recently, the NCAA published the results of a survey on the time commitment to play DI college athletics.
College baseball was reported, by the players, to involve just over 42 hours per week with the academic side taking just under 32 hours per week. What I read does not differentiate between the Fall and Spring on either so the reliability has some questions. Also, it is a "survey" and it does not seem to have been validated beyond the survey results.
The impact of the college coach in the choice of schools is pretty eye opening.. over 50% choose schools because of the Coach.
The survey results also included some responses about coaching,coaching relationships, and development vs. winning.
Some of the results are summarized in the USA Today link:
