[quote=Anonymous]I know a few of DS' friends who are playing D1 sports, they have workout and training every morning from either 6am-8am or from 7am-9am.  They can't have classes that begins at 8am.  They have afternoon sessions as well and games/tournaments on weekends.  They will ride the buses to the tourneys and ride them back no matter how late.

DS is a CS major and just simply couldn't ever envision himself doing that.  He wants to double major and would be happy for an 8am class so he can fit everything in. No way he could survive those bus rides and missing critical time to do work with his classmates.  They need all the time they can get to get through the grueling CS schedule.

My point is that although it looks great that these kids have a seemingly easy stroll into the elite colleges, one simply doesn't know what they end up giving up in the progress.  Only time can tell.  Schools need athletic programs for many reasons. So let it go and focus on your kid and her path.[/quote]
