And then there are some whose kids wouldn't be in college at all if it weren't for baseball....
Or, if they were in college but did not have baseball to give them structure and academic accountability, perhaps they would implode from too much partying and other distracting activities....
Players are not all cut from the same piece of cloth. They have different intellects, talents, priorities, and interests. The player who first posted in this thread indicated that he doesn't care what division he plays in, he just wants to continue playing baseball, and he asked for our advice. I, for one, don't feel it's proper to shoot down someone's goals and desires and tell him what he should be doing with his life.
