[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has OP named the sport?

That to me is a huge factor in this decision because there are a whole host of reasons to be the "worst" player on a D1 revenue sport vs. the "worst" person on a D1 XC or crew team.

The former kids are given incredible perks, have tons of students actually care about the team and result in a very different college experience compared to sports like XC or crew where nobody really gives a crap how well their school does (nor are any students coming to an event) and where you practice and compete away from campus.

OP mentioned state schools...so I am talking D1 schools outside the Academic Patriot / Ivy Leagues as those leagues really don't feel much different than D3 from a student engagement perspective these days.[/quote]

What sport was your dc recruited for? Where did they end up? [/quote]

Are you OP?  If you won't mention your kid's sport then I'm not going to respond...just tell us your kid's sport already so we can be of help.  It's silly you are not.[/quote]

Ok [/quote]

OK what?  Are you OP?[/quote]
