[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The consequences wouldn't be felt right away. They would be felt years later, when a teammate won't hire your DS into his company or whatever because he is remembered as a quitter. In general Ivy athletes go on to be very successful.

Nice fantasy.

That’s not how it works.

The vast majority of Ivy students aren’t athletes and someone who dropped the sport in a few weeks - guess what, no one will really know nor care.

The idea that someone will hold grudges years later is laughable.[/quote]

Hmm.

Irrelevant. The poster who wrote the message is clearly not an Ivy student or graduate. Once you matriculate on campus, your college experience is entirely up to you and there are no penalties or punishment for quitting a sport. No one really cares.

The irony is you're more likely to be judged for having been an athlete. The scenario of a fratty lacrosse player coming in for a job interview and the interviewee is someone who hated the frats or the lacrosse team is much more likely. [/quote]
