That is cuz only rich schools can afford LaX and Hockey. Not to mention those sports aren't really "nurtured" in da hood.

My point exactly. Most of Cincinnati's inner city HSs do not have a baseball program anymore.

The problem was first noticed by MLB back in the 70s, but you don't get a baseball program without playing fields and without Little League and you don't see any baseball fields or LL in the 'hood.

MLB's solution was to go to Latin America which helps explain why there are more Rodriguiz than Jones in MLB.

...and in a suprising plot twist

WVU QB apologizes

 "Thinking back on my recent comments at Big East media day, I believe that I may have overstated my feelings on college baseball and the WVU baseball program," White said in a statement. "I have not played collegiate baseball in the past because I have concentrated on football and building on our success with my football family. "I am sorry my comments have caused so many distractions. I am looking forward to putting this behind me and getting on the practice field with my teammates on Saturday."

[sarcasm] That doesn't look at all like it was written with the assistance of some WVU PR person. [/sarcasm]

I agree with you. That statement was written with complete sentences. Imagine a WVU PR person using both nouns and verbs...and linking them no less!

They must have hired an outside consultant for that one.

Pat White Suggests Alabama Offered Him a Corvette To Sign with Tide

On Monday Alabama running back Derrick Henry posted a picture of his new car. "Everybody meet my new baby, Fiona."

Immediately everyone in the SEC accused Alabama of buying the car for him. Because, well, it's the SEC and this is what happens every time a top player who doesn't have a job posts photos of himself driving a nice car. Which happens, to be fair, a ton.

Y'all inundated me with this picture, but I wasn't going to write about it until former West Virginia quarterback Pat White stepped into the mix. Posting on his own Facebook page alongside photos of Henry's new ride, "Stop pretending like you didn't know the crimson tide has been doing this for years. Still glad I turned down a Corvette to become a mountaineer."

Oh.

Snap.

There's just one problem with White's Bama takedown. According to Rivals he didn't have an offer from Alabama. Of course, Rivals is not infallible when it comes to recruiting offers, so maybe White did have an offer from the Tide. If so, the current Edmonton Eskimos quarterback made an intriguing decision if he gave up a Corvette and the home state school to go to West Virginia for four years.

Has that decision ever been made before by anyone for any reason?

Regardless, the lesson, as always, for college football players: Don't post your new cars on Instagram. Sure, you may deserve those cars -- even if they violate NCAA rules -- given how much you're making the school, but even if the cars are entirely purchased with your own money no one is going to believe that. Not even former top football recruits from Alabama.
