[@TheSportsPROgram]

So many ex college players doing well in the pro tour ....3 ex UCLA players in the top 100 right now .....Joe Salisburry who played at the university of Memphis is #1 in the world in doubles .....Cameron Norrie played at TCU is #12 in the world .....D1 tennis is super high quality, and fun to watch the team aspect of these matches.

[@istanford813]

Yes college sure is a fabulous training ground.

Know any reason Drew Baird hasn't been playing recently?

There must be tens of exciting fans there! It's sad that players now miss every holiday with family as a child to chase ranking points in hopes of earning a 1/4 scholarship to still pay 50k for an education. I know several players on both teams and can attest at how hard they worked as kids, but spent every weekend in toxic tournaments arguing over line calls. USC v UCLA which is historically a huge rivalry in college tennis draws less spectators than most 3.5 ladies team events at local clubs. Youth sports is such a sad state of affairs that even the "success" stories reach their pinnacle of life playing in front of drunk idiots screaming after double faults. Maybe, just maybe, online home schooling, renting hotels in armpits like Stockton, Ca and rationalizing 13 year olds throwing racquets or hooking each other every weekend isn't the healthiest way to spend a childhood.

why are you so mad bro? lol are you gonna be the next napoleon leading the charge against the terrible impositions of youth sport culture? If the child wants to play tennis there's going to be emotions involved. Haven't you ever cared about literally ANYTHING in your life? Because people tend to get emotionally invested when they care. It's really easy for you to be an armchair critic of everyone and everything, meanwhile it's also funny bc ik you haven't achieved 1/3 of what most of the division players have just to be considered for those scholarships. You unironically need professional help.

[@meadowlarkkevin4361]

@@raderT90 I can appreciate your comment, but not knowing my background it's hard to put my thoughts into context. I will say that I had a full scholarship for baseball to what was then the best baseball division in D1. My son was the fifth ranked junior for recruiting in tennis without playing all over the country in every national tournament. My comment comes from a place where I spent years watching people treat their kids like they were professional athletes. Spending all of their money to warp their children through toxic tournaments of cheating, parents fighting and sleeping in hotels in crime ridden cities like Stockton or Sacramento. I know former college tennis players that talk like their lives peaked at 18. The majority of former D1 college players either end up hating tennis, transfer after two years or quit the team. If all of those things sound ideal then by all means continue to chase ranking points, fly your son all over the place at 12 yrs old and convince them that they will be the next Federer rather than the next -enter name of boys 18 Kalamazo winner from almost any year that you have never heard of-. Here's an idea, let kids have lives, compete in sports, be great students without the constant looming idea that they need scholarships or more ranking points for recruiting. College tennis is being taken over by international players so little Timmy will have to work extra hard to get that 1/4 scholarship. Sorry that I am right and it makes you upset.
