An NCAA survey has found that student-athletes spend more time on sports preparation than on academic study. In a nutshell, being a Division I college athlete is a full time job - requiring around 40 hours per week of athletes' time. Consider that NCAA rules say coaches can only take 20 hours per week of their athletes' time, and we have a problem. Parents, coaches, and especially athletes need to consider this fact when making college decisions.
