Why are high school and college sports SUCH a big deal in the States?

501 viewsOther

I know that the answer is ‘scholarships’ for college, but like, why? I’m in the UK and even schools that have a big reputation for sport are nowhere near as intense as the states. Reading parenting subs atm talking about signing up 5 year olds for specific sports so that they’ll have a shot of making the team in high school. That just feels insane to me.

I could be wrong but I think it might have something to do with a significantly higher number of people in the USA not going to college/uni as opposed to outside the USA college/uni being part of a right of passage into adulthood.
