Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3675611, member: 9636"] Look, folks, I only used Megan as an example. She may have been unhappy at UConn. Well, okay. We can argue if this is a problem at UConn or with Megan. I hope everything works out for her. I do know UConn turns out quality women. The problem may be with the stress of college sports. But I am looking at a different angle. Is college an avenue to an education or just a bump on the road to a professional career? Already we are talking about Paige’s future in the WNBA. That is absolutely ridiculous. I stopped paying attention to mens college basketball with one and done. I realize that free agency was vitally important to professional athletes but while supporting it, it did ruin baseball, for example, to me. I grew up a Yankee fan, Denver Bears then being a Yankee triple A club. I knew the lineup year in and year out. They were my players, my team. That no longer exists. Today’s Yankee star or Cincy Star is next year’s Dodger. I understand, I understand. Still... I have been a lifetime Denver Broncos fan. In 1960, the year the Broncos came into existence, the team came to my small hometown to “practice” with the high school team on which I played. Even then I knew it was a public relations gambit. The Broncos went on to play in many Super Bowls, the true America’s team (or, at least, the America’s west team, just see how many orange jerseys are in the stands for home Cardinals or Chargers games.) Then look at the last Denver Super Bowl win. Within two years only five of those championship players were still on the roster. My love for the Broncos diminishes. I wish all the best to Megan. Absolutely. It may well have been the best decision for both her and UConn. But... [/QUOTE]
