[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This poster sounds like they are doing their homework to understand reality as opposed to a fantasy presented by the coach that stem degrees are able to be pursued and that lots of athletes do so.[/quote]

Nobody said lots of athletes do it, not even the coach.

Lots of non athlete STEM majors also change degrees.

[b]If the student wants to do it and is smart enough they can do it[/b].

But the reality is OPs son might find STEM in college too hard, athlete or not.[/quote]

This was flatly not true at Yale for physics.  Profs said “Miss labs and you fail.”  Coach said “Miss practice or a game and you’re off the team.”   That’s the simple reality at many schools. [/quote]

Some can maybe manage it and some can not.  Always prioritize the major over the sport.[/quote]

I’m not clear what’s meant here.  Exactly zero athletes can “manage it” it if they have required labs that conflict with required practices and games.  There is nothing to manage.  It’s not a question of effort or time management, it’s a question of not being able to be in two places at once.  There is zero grey area here.  [/quote]
