[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At many schools, being a D1 athlete is a full-time job. Coaches will DEMAND to see you at practices, workouts, tactics briefings, fitness, etc without any regard to your academic pressures.

This is a very interesting survey of college athletes about their experiences. You can see the number differences between D1 and D3 and get a better idea from the data what to expect.

(personally, unless a professional or US National team callup is in the cards, I'd choose the best academic / career institution). [/quote]
This is a weird post. “Coaches DEMAND” well yeah youre on the team. It’s your job. That’s like thinking it’s unreasonable your boss expects you to be at work. Most D1 athletes get some money. IME, coaches are very supportive of your academic career, realize it’s why you’re there at all, and put supports in place for you. I personally did much better while I was playing because of the structure. The only case I think this might be an issue is if you were really nowhere near qualified to get into the school in the first place, you have no expectation of working hard, and you’re a male star on a HUGE football or bball team.
