As someone who grew up very poor with no access to a college fund, federal loans that became predatory in nature were the only option.
What needs to change is the process in which these loans are handed out to 18 year old kids without full explanation.

Some families are so obsessed with the D1 label that they'd rather their kid major in bench management than graduate with a degree and four years of meaningful playing experience. Good morning.

Any parent or coach that does this belongs in jail.

Make a mistake? Have a “next pitch” mentality! The next pitch is all that matters. Keep your head in the game… odds are you will have a chance to help the team later. Maybe the very next pitch or towards the end of the game. You just never know when the next opportunity will show itself… Baseball rewards those who can stay locked in.

D3 doesn’t ban athletic scholarships by accident. It bans them on purpose.
No scholarship = no pressure to treat sports like a job. Athletes stay students first. Why is that an issue? Result of their approach? Highest graduation rates in the NCAA, the most participants, and kids who actually play for the love of the game.
Force scholarships and you kill the only division that still operates as the last form of amateurism in the country.

Ask a former baseball player what he misses.
You’ll hear about the dugout. Batting practice. The bus rides. The guys.
Very few mention their batting average.
Funny how the numbers feel like everything when you’re playing, and the people become everything when you’re done.
💯
