What do you think of over 30 (year old) college athletes?

Answer 1

I don't have a problem with it. If they can make the team, why shouldn't they play? Which, to me, is the exact same thing that is expected of any player on any team. I think the only reason that it doesn't happen more is that schools do not have and/or promote open tryouts. Which is a little different than walking up to a coach to ask for one, who may have his biases that are not present when watching a group of people trying out for a team.

Answer 2

I think it's fine...if you can play you can play and besides, everyone reaches their physical peak at different times. A 30-year old player is apt to be a lot wiser than some dude right out of high school.

People attend college at all sorts of different ages, they should be elgible to play if they're good enough.

Answer 3

As a college student, I think it is pretty cool. You are never too old to learn new skills.

As an athlete though? It would be okay too, I guess. You might not be able to keep up with those of us that are young and chipper. (Unless you are in amazing physical shape though.)

Answer 4

It is kind of getting up there for college, but if you're still able to keep up with the 18 year olds, then it's fine

Answer 5

Personally, I think it's weird. Even if the player is really good, and goes pro, they will only last a few seasons before they get so old they have to retire.

Answer 6

As long as they can play then I think its fine

Answer 7

WHat is the big deal? If they can play then who cares of their age.

Answer 8

if they are competetive and able to keep up with younger group, all the more power to them.

Answer 9

kinda creepy

Answer 10

if its fine with them its fine with me
