[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize kids get to college and then decide they can’t handle the time commitment, or decide they want something different. That’s fine. I was a 4 year college athlete, and I understand. But what my nephew is planning is a little icky. Hate the game, not the player, I know, but still.[/quote]

It is also almost impossible to play sports at a D1 school and major in STEM at the same time.  My DS tried to major in Computer Engineering along with D1 but he failed badly, and his GPA was around 2.5 after his sophomore year.  He changed his major to economics and did somewhat better.  Fortunately, one of his teammate's fathers got him a high paying job after graduation in finance.  My DD also played D1 sport and studied pre-med (biology) and she quit after one semester to focus on academics.  It wasn't possible for her to do both.  The scholarship amount that both DD gave up wasn't much, around 10%.[/quote]

Also architecture and nursing are almost impossible as well[/quote]
