While reading this post, I just got a text from my redshirt freshman son. (Not sure if this counts for topic.) He informed me that he has to be on campus to take a Cellular Bio test at 5:15 am before getting on the bus to ride 5 hours for a midweek game. He spent Nine hours on the bus from Saturday evening to Sunday morning finishing a research paper that was due today. The demands of practice, etc. are far more demanding than my time in college. He is a junior academically and a freshman on the field. Because of the tough demands on a pre-med student and athlete, he also has to take an Organic Chemistry II class this summer. Be sure your kid wants to pay the price to be a college athlete! I am very proud of his accomplishments on the field and more so of his GPA and classwork. He will be a college athlete for a few more years but Dr. for a long time.
