[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports at the academies are interesting because you can use it as an advantage to get in (still need to be a really good applicant) and then can opt to not play at all. Since everyone goes for free- there is no change in your tuition. [/quote] “He is a quitter who worked the system” is exactly the reputation you want to have at a military academy and in the military after you graduate.[/quote] Op. Don’t lots of kids do this who are recruited for sports? The grad finish rate in many sports is fairly low. My dc has no plans whatsoever to quit and isn’t using his sport as an entry hook, but honestly your sentiment seems a little out of whack. Lots of people quit sports… I mean only a tiny fraction go pro, so it’s going to happen sooner or later. I can’t imagine they are all branded losers [/quote]
