Fenway, I basically went down that path myself (with minor variations) although it was along time ago. I only played 1 yr of JuCo and transferred to D1 w/ major of Architectural Engineering, which is not near as demanding as Electrical, Mechanical, etc. It required an extra year for me to be able to keep a 3.0 GPA and meet the time demands of baseball. Also, the time demands of D1 baseball have gone way, way up since back in the day. Its basically a full time job now. Having said all of that, I still think it is not impractical to think a kid could go JuCo for 2 years and transfer successfully to play D1 or D2 and major in engineering - as long as it's a credible JuCo & planning regarding transfer credits is done on the front end. However, it isn't practical to think you could do that in today's world and graduate in 4 years. It would take 5 for most anyone IMO.
