Quote: I would question the sanity of any parent who would prefer their child accept a scholarship to play soccer at a Charleston Southern, a Lander, or a Francis Marion if that child also had the opportunity to attend Clemson or Furman or College of Charleston as a "civilian." The only compelling reason I could see to take the athletic scholarship at the academically weak D2 (or in the case of CSU - DI) school would be financial necessity.
But don't you understand how much book money Junior will get with his soccer scholarship. Then when he changes Majors three times from Civil Engineering to Interior Decorating before finally deciding on General Studies it sure would be nice knowing those books would almost be paid for.
