TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Getting tuition paid for is a great perk, for sure. But there are other things to consider. Playing basketball in college gives you a lot more juice than being on the fencing team.
- And then, there’s safety to consider. Getting tuition paid for – and then getting injured playing football would be a bummer. Maybe better to play golf and not break any bones.
