[quote=Anonymous]I played a sport at HYP and quit. I was a walk on so I wasn’t a recruiting slot a coach had fought for. it was a total time suck and I was never going to be a major contributor. That said, those drop off numbers sound high to me. Wasn’t true in my class. Some people were actually cut and it was pretty tough to do some sports with certain majors - particularly stem. But still most people saw it through and many have fond memories of their college years. It’s definitely not the best ethics to go in knowing you are going to quit. But honestly the way elite schools bend over backwards to admit these athletes is pretty absurd. And they trend heavily toward wealthy sports like squash and crew. So for kids with the talent to get recruited for DI even if they don’t want to do it, well it’s not the most egregious offense I have heard in college admissions. Harder to be a top flight athlete than start a fake non-profit. [/quote]
