[quote=Anonymous]I would ask D3 and ivies. Recruited Ivy athletes don’t have scholarships and their commitment to a team isn’t binding after admission. I would guess 20% of recruited* athletes I know at ivies disappear from their sport after freshman year. I know a coach at an Ivy and it makes his job really complicated- every year he gets 1-3 slots for his athletes. When he has recruited athletes quit, that reduces his slots with Admissions for the next year. Anticipating who wants to stay with a hard, tiring sport and a demanding course load vs. who is using it as a side door to an elite university is not easy. *using “recruited” in the Ivy way- they don’t sign NLI but rather commit to the admissions process with a school with the understanding that they will get a likely letter and go through the preferred admission process [/quote]
