[quote=Anonymous]I think quitting like that could be socially hard on the kid. Your immediate friends will naturally be the students you meet on the team. It's one thing to be a walk on, try it out and say it's not for you. It's another to renege on a commitment so soon. IMO it changes the mix of the kids who are on the team that will stay friends. It's important to be invited to join good study groups, etc... It's certainly tempting on a practical level to use the hook that way but kids have a purer sense of honor and I think a willingness to renege would have raised questions in my mind. We're all our actions, right? Once you're known as a cheater it's hard to get respect back. And where does the line get drawn? Do they also feel it's okay to renege on internship offers. Who knows how that plays out later? Seems like life is often 6 degrees of separation. [/quote]
