Collegiate Sports...What They SHOULD Be

I ran across this article by Bill Pennington of the New York Times featuring the baseball team at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. It is a WONDERFUL read! It perfectly depicts what college athletics SHOULD be in our country...students choosing a school at which to study and having the opportunity to play a sport they love while getting their education. This is a must read for any student athlete with collegiate sports dreams! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/01/sports/baseball/01maine.html?_r=3
