Why play college ball?
When you reach your late 20's or early 30's and you find yourself with the following questions in your mind and on your heart:
"would haves"
"could haves"
"should haves"
These types of questions aren't always a good feeling.
Entering your late 20's and 30's and saying
I DID IT and it worked out great or even I DID IT and it just didn't work out is much easier in your mind and on your heart.
If you have the ability and the DESIRE then I would always suggest trying it and then seeing how it plays out.
