My World: Why Don't We Have Sports at UCBA?
One significant advantage of going to college includes continuing your athletic career.
Most colleges throughout the country provide intramural and/or intercollegiate sports teams for students to participate in. UC Blue Ash College offers no such thing.
Although UCBA is considered a branch campus, there is no excuse for having no sport teams here. UC Clermont College offers sport teams for their students, and they are also, like us, a branch campus.
Sinclair Community College, a highly recognized community college in Ohio, also provides students with sporting teams.
I personally would love to get involved with a sports team on this campus. I played soccer in high school and played collegiately during my freshman year of college.
Being a student-athlete gives students extra motivation to maintain focus in the classroom. For example, playing soccer required me to attend study and tutoring sessions three times per week. I also had to maintain over a 2.0 grade point average to be eligible to participate in games.
As well as staying grounded in the classroom, we had more rules in our everyday lives than most other students. We had a team issued 48-hour drinking rule, in which any player caught under the influence of drugs and alcohol during that time period was suspended from the team for a game.
Also, if arrested at a party you were suspended for three games.
Keeping college students involved in sports can't exactly promise perfect grades and a clean record, but it keeps trouble off their minds and keeps them focused on the important things.
UCBA needs to seriously consider sponsoring some intercollegiate sports teams.
