[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a blue chip D1 recruit at a very good university and is an incoming freshman in the fall.  Had multiple conversations with the coach and was assured by the coach that DS could major in biomedical engineering without any issues.  For the past two months, DS has in in communication with former athletes on the team and they all painted a different picture about the program once the athletes are on campus.  They were steered toward majors like communications, business or philosophy.  [b]No one on the team graduated with STEM degrees in the past eight years. [/b] DS is very concerned about this and so are we.

We have more than enough in the 529 savings so that we don’t need the scholarship.  I told DS to attend college and stick to biomedical engineering major and if things get too hard with both academic and athletic, just quit the team and focus on academics.  The university is not going to expel him, can they?[/quote]

The university cannot expel one for quitting an athletic team, but it will take away the athletic scholarship.

Among Division 1 football schools, Georgia Tech, Duke, Stanford, Michigan, Berkeley, and Rice have the strongest undergraduate biomedical engineering programs. Northwestern, Wisconsin, and U Virginia also have strong undergraduate programs.

(Would love to know the school where no football player graduated with a STEM degree in the past 8 years.)[/quote]
