[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Serious negative social* consequences ^^[/quote]

Except that there are no negative social consequences, especially serious ones. My DC committee to play soccer at an Ivy.  Fewer than half of DC’s recruiting class player all four years, and one quit after arriving on campus freshman year , before attending a practice.  Exactly no one cared (except maybe the coach).[/quote]

i know this happens all the time but it seems so messes up the at athlete gets recruited to an ivy (woule  absolutely never have gotten in otherwise) and then quits. talk about privilege!!![/quote]

I think it is rare that someone spends all their time becoming a recruited athlete with the intention of getting into a top school and then never playing.

More commonly, a recruit shows up Freshman year to find that the team has a very talented Freshman class and looks like you will get little to no playing time throughout college.  It's not like you can go the coach and say "hey, I know I will only play 10% of the time...so can I only go to 25% of the practices?"  Obviously, you are there if starters get injured...but it is a ton of time and effort for very little tangible benefit.

Ivy league schools are primarily recruiting Summer prior to senior year in HS and Fall of senior year...it's not like other D1 schools with sports scholarships where you can see lots of committed kids prior to your applying.  You really won't know how the cards fall until you show up as a Freshman.[/quote]
