[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are all good points, but they're all impacted by both sport and school, especially since money is not relevant to all schools (Ivys, D3 theoretically). The issue with major is also impacted significantly by school. The Ivys and the like do not put restrictions on major, and in fact, have more restrictions on when/how much athletes can practice.

This all depends on the school.  At the schools that are more academic -- they will allow any major.  Even D1s.  Boston College, Duke are two that at least in the past did not stop science or premed.  Many of the Ivy women's teams are heavily pre-med.

My DC plays at a NESCAC. At most of the NESCAC schools there are no classes or labs between 3 and 7pm in order to allow the athletic teams time to practice. It means more early morning classes than some kids might like but it makes scheduling easier. Also, there was never an issue with lab conflicts because labs were never scheduled for Friday afternoons when teams might have to travel.[/quote]
