Half my Hs football team was roided out and I thought about it but chose not to inject unknown chemicals of unknown potency into my body and I’m glad I made that choice I didn’t feel at a disadvantage personally but that was just me and I was a big boy.

Not really.
Very few high school athletes go to college on athletic scholarships.

I don't think so.
It's really not all that difficult to get into a college or get student loans.

But that is what they're trying to do, right?

Actually no, I wasn't trying to.
I needed the physical activity and loved the competition. I did it because it was fun and I enjoyed it. That it ended up getting me a college scholarship on top of the academic ones I earned was gravy.
I competed in just about anything competitive in high school, including sports, but I would have hated looking like a meatball because I didn't have basketball and track and field available to me. Lot of really good times and memories tied up there.

OK. But in general, poor kids are looking for any path to a free college degree, wouldn't you say?
