There are private schools out there who survive on the students who want to play college sports. They have high tuition and low academic standings, but they will take just about any athlete into just about any sport. They will even give you a "scholarship" which brings your tuition down to the average tuition of just about any other college around. There is a University not too far from me where more then half the students play some sort of varsity sport. over 50% of them were not recruited by any other college. 3 years ago the softball coach quit after about 5 games and they couldn't replace her, so softball was done for the year.
Its a vanity thing, they recruit students based on being able to offer them the ability to say "I played college softball" for the rest of your life.
Now is this the same as saying I went to Florida, Arizona, Michigan, or even Wayne State or Grand Valley or any good program at any level no. But 99% of the people out there have no idea that it isn't.
