[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You put more hours into any sport than shool work. Why not try to play at highest level?[/quote] Highest level for many is highest academic. Also, many have no desire to deal with big rosters, transfer portal competition and lots of 5th year grad transfers. Ivies do not allow 5th year and rarely use transfer portal. Players have their own personal goals which is not always a BC, UNC, Maryland type of school just because they do well in lax.  Many players put in just as much hardwork for school work as they do for lax training. In fact for many the academics are way more important than the lax championship or ranking. You clearly do not have a high academic achieving student because you seem to be having a hard time wrapping your head around this idea. [/quote]

Players finish a degree at an Ivy and transfer out to WIN a championship! Every player wants to win a championship whether they are at Harvard or Northwestern. You being unable to wrap your head around that shows your lack of intelligence AND athleticism.[/quote]
Exactly – and that perfectly proves my point. Those players chose the Ivy League or high academic *first* for their undergrad degree: stability, no 5th years taking spots, and elite academics. Winning a championship *later* via a post grad transfer (often with a funded Master's degree-a brilliant move!) is a separate, opportunistic phase. It doesn't change the fact that during INITIAL recruitment, many top students specifically seek out environments like the Ivies precisely because they prioritize the undergrad academic experience and roster stability over immediately chasing a title. Both choices – starting at an Ivy and transferring for a post grad year – can be smart, strategic, and driven by different goals at different times.
