Very interesting article today on athletic scholarships. I hadn't realized just how meager these were for most (non-football, non-basketball) athletes.

What is left out is that if playing the sport is really their "passion," something they would do even if no scholarship was available, then there are plenty of Division III colleges eager to recruit players for their teams. Wait. It's apparently only a "passion" if you get a scholarship for it.
