[quote=Anonymous]When I went to an Ivy 20 years ago, there were recruited athletes who quit after the first season. It was kind of tough for them because there was a bit of snobbery around recruited athletes, a lot of people who weren't regarded the recruited athletes as beneath them and didn't really socialize with them. Their former teammates didn't want to hang out with them once they quit either, and they seemed kind of socially isolated. I won't say it was right or kind, but the dynamic was there and it would make me hesitant to have one of my kids do what your son is thinking of doing.[/quote]
