Why Community College
Athletics?
By Dave
Gonyea |
|
I
receive a number of
questions every year
regarding the
differences between
playing sports at a
two-year college vs. a
four-year college.
I
usually reply with two
powerful words: Cost
and Opportunity.
Student
athletes have a variety
of schools to pick from
today. Some prefer a
more traditional,
prestigious education
offered by Bates,
Bowdoin, and Colby. Of
course, the high
academic requirements
and the $44,000 price
tag limit who can attend
those schools.
