[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]

I think that might depend on the specific school and sport. A faceoff specialist in lacrosse or a football running back who quits - at least in some circles, people will remember that.  Other sports, maybe you can fade into the woodwork over time.   But in general in my kids' experiences, the classes are only 1,000-1,500, and you know your classmates and their backstories pretty well.  Whether or not he (and his family) would be judged for quitting - maybe, maybe not.[/quote]
