Some programs have a dry season policy and I am fine with it and usually they are successful. If one can't stay away from drinking for 7-8 weeks in a year they don't need another school...perhaps AA.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhile this idea sounds perfectly sound to those of us well beyond college, if you have or know young people enrolled in college in 2015, you know that staying sober for 7-8 weeks (on most U.S. college campuses, even for student-athletes--no matter what division) is unusual. The student-athletes I know who stay dry for the entire season are the exception to the rule on their teams.

It is unrealistic to expect all teenagers (because they really are just kids) to not be tempted in participating to some degree. Like someone said - do it too much or at the wrong time there will be consequences, either on the field or in the classroom. It's part of the learning process and growing up.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFirst game is Sept 8, last regular-season game is October 28. That's 51 days, or 7 weeks. Training starts Sept 1, so with that you could say 8 weeks. There may be informal training before that, but the discussion about parties doesn't pertain to informal training when the team's not even on campus together yet. So 8 weeks for the 3 teams that do not make league tournament, and 9 weeks for the 4 eliminated in league tournament quarterfinals. For majority of teams then, prior statement was off by 1 week. A team could extend its season up to 5 more weeks, for a total of 14 weeks.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt would be interesting to know the differences you detect. My sense is a typical team of 25-30 has 8-12 freshmen, 6-10 sophomores, 5-7 juniors and seniors. There will be exceptions of course. Of those freshmen, 7-8 might be recruits in the sense of coach sent a letter of support to admissions, the others walk-ons. Coach has knowledge of most of the walk-ons, too. Some teams have a few students who are practice players.
Just curious-why the attrition? What happens to the juniors and seniors? Injury? Quit?

Yes- many kids will be unwilling to continue to commit the time and energy into a team when it has become increasingly clear that they won't see the field. If you didn't play sophomore year, the writing may well be on the wall that you're a bench player.
