[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read entire thread…but football if you are aiming for academic D1 schools (Ivy, Patriot League and the league that Georgetown is in).

Not enough smart kids play football because of head injuries, but every school has a team and they need to recruit lots of them.

These schools also have lightweight football teams…which I have never understood.  It’s not a D1 sport, but I still assume they recruit for some players?[/quote]

Racist idiot.  The  hardest sport to get recruited in is football.  The NFL has plenty of Ivy League students and top colleges that go right into the NFL.   Not an easy feat.  
Recruited players mostly come from the football universities mostly down south but plenty come from top 50 schools.

The easiest sport to get recruited for is baseball.   And they can’t even give away female golf scholarships because it’s such an old persons game.

I think most men would play football in a heartbeat if they had the talent, the strength, the balls, but they can’t so they put it down.  [/quote]

Again…not sure why or how the posting is racist.  The NFL has almost zero Ivy League players anymore…maybe there was 1 drafted last year.

Ivy League teams wouldn’t ever take the field against a Power 4 team because the risk of serious injury would be massive. Kids are easily 50 pounds lighter on average…it’s two completely separate recruiting pools.

OP said if your kid is very athletic and decent size, not what sport can anyone play of any size or shape.

Currently there are between 9-12 Ivy League graduates playing for the NFL.   There are also currently two former NFL Ivy League players who are head coaches.   That’s pretty good considering the Ivy leagues aren’t known for having athletic students.

They draft the ones that are good enough just like at the big football universities. [/quote]
