[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are all good points, but they're all impacted by both sport and school, especially since money is not relevant to all schools (Ivys, D3 theoretically). The issue with major is also impacted significantly by school. The Ivys and the like do not put restrictions on major, and in fact, have more restrictions on when/how much athletes can practice.

Ivys might not put restrictions on majors and they supposedly limit time in practice, but we have found that there are other team requirements such as “team lifts” and in-season “captains practices” that are not exactly “optional”. If you don’t participate in these, good luck getting any playing time. 
Parents and student athletes should not only ask coaches, but ask the players what their in-season schedule is like. 4hrs a day in-season and juggling a STEM major might not be ideal for some students who thought that Ivys would be less practice time than top athletic D1 programs.  YMMV depending on the sport. This is what we have found based on teammates going to Ivy for sport. [/quote]
