  1. let them go. There is no law that the kids have to go to college. For sports or just a degree. Colleges have forgotten this and are trying to get kids and parents to feel obligated. College isn’t for everyone and that is just fine.

  2. Don’t blame them. They can always go to college. The clock is ticking on their sports careers. Go for the money. Plus, college is not a good ROI anymore.
