basically work full time jobs for the school. They are routinely told "we own you." by the coaches. Some states like Georgia provide tuition free school if you keep a high enough GPA. They also risk permanent damage by playing. A knee injury will impact you the rest of your life and multiple concussions can affect you later. I think women suffer the most concussions playing soccer. Would you risk your mind and body for this?
