[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens quite often with high academic student athletes choosing a Top 10 or Top 20 option over D2 and/or D3 offer(s)[/quote] Forgot to add: if your child is interested in a difficult major (think, pre-med or engineering) and/or studying abroad, the possibility of playing a major D1 team sport is really unusual. If both (rigorous major AND study abroad), I’m not sure any D1 program would allow them to do that - in my experience, they wouldn’t be a viable recruit in most, if not all team sports. There’s just too little time to accomplish all of those goals.[/quote] You can leave the sport after getting recruited.[/quote] I know - a family member did just that. It’s an effective strategy for highly competitive privates (i.e., most T10 schools) and certain highly competitive public schools that have OOS acceptance rates below 10% … but it still seems a little scummy to me, to be honest.[/quote]
