[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is a HS senior and highly recruited athlete with good, not great grade.  He is being heavily recruited by a couple of Ivy schools.   Son is good but not pro material.  Our family can afford the tuition without assistance.  Son realizes that it will be impossible for him to handle both academic and athletic at school because he is already having a hard time for the past two years.

He is thinking of accepting one of the Ivy offers and when he starts his freshman year there, just quit the team so that he can focus only on academic.  Can he be kicked out of school for doing this?[/quote]

What does he want to major in? What does he want to do after college?

Could he take a lot of classes in the summer, so lighten the load during the school year?

Also, would the sports people help him work with the professors to ease time conflicts? Example: If a paper would normally be due on a certain day, and practicing for the sport team would critical that day, would the team help him get the paper rescheduled?

Or, would the team at least help him figure out which professors would work with him?

If he wants to become a marketing executive after college and golf a lot, the best answer might be a lot different than if he wants to become a philosophy professor at Yale, a nuclear physicist or an MD-PhD.
