Any parents of current or former college athletes?

Within a few weeks (it seemed) of my youngest joining the swim club (NOT HS team) and actually swimming in some competitive meet, the brochures started arriving.

Most notable that I recall (because I'm a USC alumnus) was Longhorns invitation to come swim in Texas!! He wasn't even competitive, just wanted to swim.

Very similar to those invitations for academic students to come the DC and participate in these "elite" opportunities to spend your parents' $$$$. Sounds impressive, but not really all that important.
