NCAA in US is very strong and they create lot of Sports pro. I see the kind of talent which they create in American Foot ball, Basketball. People here in US follow these College sports like Professional sports and the Yearly revenue is 600 million dollars. They support all college sports which are not even profitable like Soccer, Base ball, Track&Field. BCCI which is reaping in so much of revenues by TV rights and other ****** league rights can contribute to SAI (Sports Authority of India) or create its own body to support not only cricket, but other sports and help young talents to become pro's.
I have known 50-100 folks when I was practicing Track and field (during my school days) who took some job in PSU's and discontinued playing the sports. They practice the sports just get a job.
BCCI can change that state now by supporting other sports too like Hockey, Soccer, Track&Field. We should use this cricketing craziness in India to develop other sports too. Governmental programs will help, But with the corruption in India.... It will take years.
Private Corporations in India can do a little more too like TATA's, AMBANI's can create a sports federation of their own and can hire coaches and can adapt athelets or recruit athletes.
Hmm... We are not asking China's way of doing things. (Force recruit kids when they are 5). All we are asking is give indian kids a chance to choose sports as a pro career path, Who knows given that chance, I would have become next carl lewis of India :-)
