Do you really want to commit the time to play college ball?

Two out of three of my son's said "no thank you" to college baseball. They saw what their older brother went through at a D1 HA known for scheduling 42-44 games a year with additional flexibility around practices, classes and travel. By no stretch of the imagination was his D1 experience comparable to a D1 P5 and yet he spent 30-40 hours a week in season and 15-20 hours a week off-season on college baseball (away from studies). My two younger sons wanted no part of it. I give them a lot of credit for knowing what they wanted to get out of college, and knowing they weren't as passionate about baseball as their older brother.
