However‚ I do not believe all high schools should follow this academic program‚ by allowing all high schools to turn into an Early College.

Being such means Millions of dollars are spent every year updating stadiums‚ training facilities and other areas‚ all for the “amateur” athletes. But what makes someone an amuture and a pro?
