@OperaAdri- College sports bring in $$$ to the schools. They charge big bucks for those games and donors fund them handsomely. We know it’s not right, but it’s reality- and a 2.5 is being generous for some of those athletes!

Yep unfortunate supply and demand. If everyone was rushing to pay hundreds of dollars to see our operas we would be living fancy 
There’s been some interesting articles lately regarding college football programs and the fact that most of them are losing money and draining resources, not to mention the exploitation and the injuries.
There have been studies done that there really isn’t as much money they are getting as you would think to justify all the money spent on the athletes. I can’t quote it so not very helpful. If I have time, I will try to find it.
The head injuries to football players have devastating consequences when they get older. Not only putting them at risk for early dementia, but other mental disorders as well.
Congrats @cellomom6 on all the acceptances coming in!!! That is fantastic!
As a huge college (and pro) sports fan, I will say I have had many conversations with friends, family, etc about the differences between sports at schools and in the real world, vs music. We are a sports loving nation and that fact remains- America loves that much more so than live music (I will exempt pop and mainstream music from this because everyone knows how much money Beyonce and Ariana Grande have…).
As long as that remains- regardless of individual programs at individual schools/drama with the players/drama with paying the players vs not paying them/whatever the case may be- professional sports teams are a multimillion dollar industry, and where they draw the players from matters (as of right now). Eventually, we may see professional athletes skipping school altogether. Whether that’s a good thing or not, we all have our different opinions.
But the difference is we musicians NEED the schooling. It is imperative to perfect our craft. We need to study languages, theory, history, education practices, medicine (therapy), etc. And that will never change. So, as long as we need the schooling- and the schools don’t necessarily need us (again, debatable on certain levels)-- it will remain this way.
I’m not saying that there should necessarily be more money for specifically music scholarships, but what seems insane to me is that students who do well in high school and bust their butts to make good grades get little or no attention when it comes to merit scholarships while athletes that barely make it through are getting full rides. A lot more attention needs to be paid to academics and rewarding those accomplishments.
Well you’re right @rockinmomab and that’s why there’s so much debate about pro sports organizations drawing from schools and about the most talented of the athletes attending schools- why do they need to go to college if theyre just gonna skimp by on a 1.8 GPA? If theyre interested in an education great and if theyre not, then what’s really the point?
This is a really interesting discussion, but I am wondering if it could be moved to its own thread? Every time I see that there are new messages, I expect to see more acceptances.
Sorry!! Will keep the subject to acceptances/scholarships!
Whoot! My daughter just got her acceptance to Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts! And she got her preferred studio as well. Vocal performance, BM. That’s 4 down, 2 to go.
