This really angers me. In the United States community colleges have track and field as a varsity sport but in Canada there are absolutly no community colleges offering track and field however the universitys offer track and field. That sucks for people like me who really enjoy track and field,live in Canada but just dont have the grades for university. Sports are pretty challenging but now i'm expected to be great at sports and score an A average. I take college level courses in highschool so I cant go to university. The only way to continue track and field for a guy like me is get an atheletic schlorship in the states which is really hard. I'm would want to get a schlorship but there are no guarantees. Anyway, what are your opinions on this topic?

I was thinking of putting this in the rants section but this is a college topic about sports so I guess this section is good enough

I know our local community college doesn't have any varsity sports, either, I don't think it's just a Canadian problem.
