[quote=Anonymous]I wonder how often this happens, it happened to people I know: Student is weak/mediocre student in HS but plays varsity LAX. SAT's are very weak. He says he wants to go to DIII school and play LAX because somebody he knows is doing same. Parents are ridiculously ecstatic kid wants to go to any college. Accepted despite SATs, promised a spot on LAX team, full pay. Student sits on the bench all season, can't even pass basic freshman classes even with lots of help from school, drinks parties and flunks out after one year. Seven years later student and parents are still making payments on student loans they couldn't afford to begin with. Should have gone to CC but were lured in by acceptance at a university and promise of playing on team.[/quote]
