For boys that are not students, it may be the way to get into one of the those low tier academic schools and a good thing to get them to actually get a degree.

For the stellar students, I would [b]never sacrifice [/b]or take a hit in academic trajectory/potential for soccer.[/quote]

True Story:

Colleague #1 played for Radford University and obtained degree
Colleague [b]#2[/b] could have played at RU, but decided to pursue academics at UVA. Graduated.

10 years later;

Both work at the same job, same pay grade, same professional path. Is not always about the best school is what I learned from this situation.[/quote][/quote]

I hate how coaches in ECNL continuously "sell" you the college path. I would never sacrifice academics for soccer either.

What makes you believe a kid would be sacrificing academics for soccer?[/quote]

Abby Wambach's autobiography.

(OK, that's an extreme example.)[/quote]

Lets stop talking about National Team caliber players. They are the types of players who are going to College for Soccer but that is such a small slice of the pie. Comparing them to the regular student body is like comparing Joe Burrow to the regular student body.

Top ten programs participating in rigorous majors is not possible but there are a lot of very good schools and programs where students/athletes can find some balance. D1 plus school is extremely challenging but it doesn't automatically mean a player sacrificed academics. [/quote]
