I've always thought that if accepting a scholarship and playing college football is such a bad deal, why do so many HS players spend all the time and money working out, attending camps, hiring special coaches and the like in hopes of getting one and playing? Also, if they are duped and don't realize what a bad deal it is until they get there, why don't more of them quit?

Anyway I had two sons who played college football, and, although they didn't go on to NFL riches, I think they were glad they played. So I can speak from a little bit of experience.
