<p>I enjoyed that article very much. Loved the comment about ‘love of the game’. My daughter plays D1 too, without a scholarship (in the Ivy League, which doesnt allow them even though it’s D1) and love of the game is all the players have to keep them going - and many of them don’t get much playing time, and are really mainly ‘practice players’. it’s pure passion, and it’s great to see.</p>
<p>And yes, Stanford does have walk-ons in many sports, but I didn’t know till I read the article that even Tara Van Deveer with one of the highest-profile teams had them too!</p>
