[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 760817, member: 2426"] Gender may be part of it. I think there are other things that play a role. Size: The number of scholarship football players on a college team is much larger than the number of scholarship players in any other sport. The sheer number of players needed will mean that not all can be from the tip of the academic curve. Money: I doubt many, if any at all, Olympic sport athletes are going to base their entire future on the possibility of signing a $100 million contract to dive, swim, hurdle, etc. Golfers can believe that they are going to get extremely rich playing golf, but if they are that good there is no reason to even go to college. A golfer can just state they are pros and start trying to qualify for the tour. In football and basketball there are a large number or kids who have believed that their only possible future is in playing the sport since they were in little league. If your Uncle keeps telling you starting at 11 that you won't have to worry about anything in life because you will make so much money playing basketball, it will probably impact your attention to academics or anything else that isn't basketball.
