62. Good argument for keeping it this way.

But, I see no reason for club sports not to support poorer kids. Much of the money now used goes to kids that don't need it. A club would or might be better at distributing those funds to poor kids that need it. I had a family member that was more than able to afford college, yet he got a scholarship and that money might have been better spent on a kid that needed it more.
Seems to work in other countries. Now there are many of the pros are coming out of countries that work on the Club sports systems. Lots of those are poorer kids too. Some of those scholarships go the athletes that are only interested in sports and never finish the school part. In other words they are only there for the sports and not the education. It might be better to give college scholarships to poorer kids that want to go for the education.

I think money for education would be better spent on those with need and ability than on how fast they can run or shoot a basketball or hit a baseball.
