Baseball kids have been getting money from high schools

Nobody believes that kids can be happy only with chasing a white ball under the blue sky. If you were, you might be a too nice person. It is like no teacher says "Run to the direction of the setting sun!"

I just knew that this subject is big now. In my opinion, this kind of things were more common in those days. For example, Masumi Kuwata and Kazuhiro Kihohara were said to focus on baseball with attending few classes at PL Gakuen.


According to the Yomiuri Shimbun:


Perks rampant for high school ballplayers

OSAKA--Baseball
clubs of 373 private high schools in 46 prefectures that are members of the Japan High School Baseball Federation had systems to provide students with such preferential treatment as admission and tuition exemptions, according to the federation.

The federation surveyed about 4,800 federation member high schools to see if they had violated Charter 13 of the Japan Student Baseball Association and required the schools to submit detailed reports on Wednesday.

The federation reported Wednesday evening that it had received the reports from 343 member schools, concerning 7,457 students.
