[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have known people who were admitted to UVa in Engineering and had a full athletic scholarship. Coaches leaned hard on them throughout 1st semester over missing practices to attend mandatory lab classes. In the end, each transferred into Arts & Sciences and picked an easy major there. None ended up in professional sports, btw.

Engineering or Nursing are different enough that its very very hard to play non-club sports and still graduate. [/quote]

I know two UVA football players who were in the E school. They did not get much playing time so I have no idea if perhaps the coaches let them miss a practice here or there, or (more likely) if professors made allowances for them.

In any case, they did it. But - they had to give up having any semblance of a social life. It was football study sleep. Doesn’t seem that fun to me, especially since they weren’t players who were good enough to go pro etc. and they clearly weren’t depending on football for life. It seemed lonely; the other players were much more of a community. But they did finish both their degrees and were on the team for at least 3 years. Lost track of them toward the end. I assume they needed the scholarship money. No way I would do it if you had the money saved up. [/quote]
