bs-for lots of kids its a social networking facility. I remember my senior year going to a big state university (U Mass Amherst) to play in a national collegiate table tennis tournament. I was amazed at the lack of intellectual rigor there-I remember a girl from Brockport state hanging out with my team the whole weekend-she was #1 in her class and she said she needed to hang with people who actually were students
If you want "social networking" get on Facebook. University is to be the highest level of secondary education out there. It's focus is on competitive, intense, and diverse education. You can have sports, but sports are not first. School is first. Always. To claim otherwise is stupid. There's no point in being in school if you are not going to focus on school. I knew guys like that in my fraternity. They didn't last long. Sure it was fun to hang out with them, but they didn't do their work and they didn't play football so coach wasn't there to put pressure on professors and deans to change grades. They went away, and while I enjoyed their company and had fun with them; without actually doing school work you shouldn't be allowed to stay in school. That simple. Do the work or quit wasting mommy and daddy's money and get a job.
