Dave Maloney thinks it would be a great way for the armed forces to get talented people into the armed forces and to solve much of the college debt/ college sports cost problem. There would be no military requirement while in college, just aferwards and has been discussed high up in Congress.
What do you think?

I like the d3 concept better. No sports scholarships. Sports are extracurricular activities.
Predatory behavior.
So you want to convert college kids into genocidal murderers in US Occupied Palestine?
Yay, just what we need, more kids going into our war machine 🙄
"genocidal murderers" "war machine" ???? America's military is the ONLY reason you have the freedom to express your ignorance on a running blog
I beat the owner of LetsRun by 10 hours. I posted this last night.
How many times do I need to do this before I get a discount on next year's VIP club membership ?

Funny, what allows endless Russian bots to do the same?
Bernie Sanders has an even better idea! Tuition free college or trade school for everyone under age 23 sans military commitment.

Email let'srun and ask them to merge the threads.
This is a r******* idea
Yeah, let's make sure all the poor and in-debt kids get to go die in wars.
Military service is NOT A GAME.
With all due respect (and I give it very little), I think this is a terrible idea. The Army already has something it calls a "World Class Athlete Program," or WCAP:
Can you name a single world class athlete it has produced?
This is a terrible idea and another example of the US Government preying on young kids who don't realize the consequences of what they are agreeing to.
"Hey kid, here's a $120,000 loan, with 4% interest that will take you 30 years to pay off. Sign here!"
"Hey kid, you want to play tennis for 4 years for free? You just have to risk life and limb until you turn 30, then you'll have PTSD for the rest of your life!! Oh, but you'll have access to a terrible medical program!"
So let me get this straight...
As a high-school senior, you enlist, but your service is deferred by 4-5 years. In the intervening time, you are participating in a non-revenue generating sport, binge drinking in the offseason, and taking watered-down classes with other dumb jocks. Then, when you're eligibility is up, you get shipped off to the desert to blow up some brown kids.
I destroyed my body just to be able to compete in college. Now I'm glad I didn't also destroy my future.
