<p>Exactly. Except that those kids are used and discarded without ever really getting an education. Many aren’t ready for college level classes, practices take up the time an under-prepared kid could have used for tutoring, etc. The system stinks. It doesn’t matter tha UMaryland has a smarter than average student body, their BB players (and those at most DI schools) couldn’t make it at a third or fourth or seventh rate school. They are set up for failure and the NCAA doesn’t care. It’s all about the money.</p>
