[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DC getting 50% athletic scholarship guaranteed for 4 years - yes it is guaranteed[/b], unless kid quits or breaks rules and thrown off team. We are surprised DC received that much for a secondary sport at a mid major.  Strong academic school - very very happy [/quote]

Understand that while legally this may be true...if a coach sours on your kid, they will make your kid's life a living hell to try get that scholarship money returned to them so they can use on it a better player.  Literally, the coach will treat your kid so poorly that no normal person would ever remain on the team...the coach will do everything they can to ruin the sport and college for your kid.

Make sure you are going into this eyes wide open.

Dp and disagree.  Needed dose of realism,  very few recruited athletes manage to stay on the team all four years.[/quote]

There is turnover but as a former recruited athlete and the parent of recruited athletes I can say with certainty that this statement is complete nonsense.[/quote]

Maybe it’s baseball, but I know three different baseball players that were dropped by the coach in the Fall. All were coerced into giving up their scholarship for the next semester with the coach telling them that they would support them in the transfer portal if they did so, but would make their lives a living hell if they didn’t and ensure they never played D1 baseball again.

This was just to get the $$$s back for the Spring semester…not for multiple years as the scholarships were yearly.

I assume all the revenue sports are far more cutthroat this way.[/quote]
