I guess you could have a kid with a great athletic ability and get a full-ride scholarship, and then make it to the pros... but the likelihood of that happening doesn't seem very high to me.

I find it highly unlikely that our kids will not make use of the 529s we have set up for them. I'm sure enough that I'm willing to risk the 10% penalty.
