Probably the worst mistake I've ever made
While by definition it can't be considered a "scam", morally it's no different. The salesman made it seem like there was no other way for my student to get into college sports without it, and when I said that I was in between jobs and wasn't sure I could afford it, he pressured me to get the lowest paid tier. It's been a year and all the payments have been paid, and we've received 4 messages from coaches from middle of nowhere states. And my student doesn't even play sports anymore because the coach quit! NCSA refuses to give a refund and has been known to be incredibly hostile towards those who ask for one. It breaks my heart to know organizations like this prey on families like ours, and there is nothing we can do. I could have used that $1500 for his college fund instead...
