[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best players are picking the best academic schools which is why Stanford, Duke etc do so well.  The best players are not picking Alabama.

Then why aren't the Ivy's all top ten soccer programs? They are also D1. [/quote]
The Ivy sport may be D1, but the Ivys do not give out athletic scholarships.  Only need-based aid like all other students.[/quote]

It's not all need based aid, there is "merit" aid available as well[/b] --- i.e. leadership scholarships and the like.
You know who was a good leader, the captain of the soccer team...[/quote]

FWIW, just returned from a campus admission tour at an IVY.  Presenter stated unequivocally, "as an Ivy League school we do not offer merit or athletic scholarships, only need-based financial aid".[/quote]

There is a really interesting College Confidential thread going on on this subject right now:  https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/athletic-recruits/2149415-no-secret-athletic-money-ivy-league.html

One thing I never realized is that (according to a couple of knowledgeable posters on that thread) if you are being recruited by more than 1 Ivy, you can get a less generous Ivy to use the same financial aid calculation methodology as a more generous one.   I'm not sure exactly how this works, but it could end up with families getting significantly more FA than they would otherwise.[/quote]

It comes down to how good the player is.[/quote]
