[quote=Anonymous]Unless your kid is playing a sport where there is a chance of going pro and where they are good enough where that isn’t a delusion you need to look at sports recruiting as a means to the end of getting into the college that gives them the best fit for college. That can mean using the sport to get into a school where you wouldn’t otherwise. Or it can mean using the sport to make a school financially feasible that wouldn’t be otherwise. But don’t focus on the team/coach/sport. Focus on the college. And include what will happen if the kid doesn’t play well. (My daughter turned down D1 partial scholarship for a higher ranked college where she got significant merit aid but isn’t part of that sport. The big advantage of merit aid versus athletic scholarship is that it continues even if you decide not to continue the sport or are injured.) [/quote]
