3. Things are changing daily right now with all the new rules. We are being told more changes are coming.

4. The extras that athletes get are pretty great- tutoring, academic support, someone doing class registration and making sure graduation requirements are being met, weekly medical/massage/pysch appointment, etc...

6. Coaches are not sugar coating the work and commitment required which has been nice. It is a full time job.

DD and boyfriend are both D1 athletic recruits.  These three are the things that stand out to me.  The extras are awesome.  My DD just got new athletic shoes and a bunch of other gear.  Her class registration was done for her and sent to her back in May or June, all approved by the coach beforehand.  She got a choice housing assignment and a double room, not a triple, also sent to her early on.  She got early move in, which made things so easy.  Also, there is a lot of focus on nutrition and food choices.

I will say that while tutoring is available, that's really not special.  I found that it was available for my other kids for free at their schools. It's a huge benefit though.

The work is no joke.  It's a lot.

As far as money, I am seeing that some kids get money to cover everything - tuition, room and board, clothes, etc.  But, not all kids get the room and board covered and that is not an insignificant expense.  And not all get full tuition covered.

Good luck to all.  [/quote]
