[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know a couple ivy athletes. They are INCREDIBLY smart (like, 4.9 W GPA) and play at a high level. They also had A LOT of coach support and running interference for them

Keep in mind, however, while the ivies do give need based aid, they give NO athletic money. And little/no merit for "regular" umc families. I know a couple of kids who are deciding right now whether to turn down and ivy offer b/c they were given zero money. It's a hard decision. And we are in a similar boat of likely turning down a top school out of inability to pay full freight (no merit given) and no athletic money given.

It's a bitter pill but is a reality.[/quote]

You are too early...this is where the Ivy booster clubs will start filling in some of the gaps for the relatively high-profile sports.  The coach will refer you to somebody at boosters who may sign you to an NIL deal to "close the deal".  They don't care about need.[/quote]

We are not a high profile sport and we have no booster connections. So this is not happening for us. [/quote]

Not to get into the weeds...but you don't need booster connections.  All the Ivy league schools are releasing their NIL guidelines which will allow booster networks.

I would not be shocked if multiple teams with wealthy alums create booster networks.  In that instance, if you are highly recruited and have already been accepted by the school, the coach will put you in contact with the field hockey/squash/fencing head of boosters and you will try to work out a financial arrangement.
