[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most top athletes do not end up selecting lower tiered schools.  Either they play at Ivys, or Hopkins, Chicago, military academies, or they play at Duke, Wake, W&M, UVA, Michigan etc. 
Most top athletes are committing to top tier schools.

If the athlete is a nonstarter at club.. that's when this decision level comes in.  [/quote]

That is a big generalization.  The top athletes that were also top scholars got recruited to some top ivies.   If they didn't have the academics for the top ivies it was a no-go.   Some of those lower academic athletes, I saw go to the military academies.[/quote]
You do not have to have top scholar credentials to be recruited at an Ivy. You do have to be a pretty good athlete. This is especially true with sports like football, basketball, baseball. Strictly from an academic standpoint, I found that academic standards are lower at Ivies than at schools like Hopkins, Chicago, MIT, Carnegie Mellon. On the other hand, athletic standards are higher at Ivies.

Michigan is not even in the same realm bc the athletic standards are generally much higher, and there is an actual chance at NIL $, depending on the sport. The military academies are not a monolith; some are D1; others are D3.[/quote]
