[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academics come first. No question.

However, the information you now have was available before. Your child has essentially taken away another child’s dream and scholarship, maybe someone who actually needs the money. Now you’re lighting that money on fire and keeping the dream prize, which is admission to the school. You should at least discuss the immorality of this choice and encourage your child to find a way in the future to pay it forward.[/quote]

Give me a break...OP has repeatedly asked the coach if majoring is STEM will work...let's face it, coach is telling them what they want to hear because they want the recruit.  Once the kid is at school, that's when they will increasingly encourage the kid to switch majors because the coach doesn't give a s**t about their major.

So, now because OP has done their DD and realized the coach, while technically isn't lying to them...for all intents and purposes is lying to them...it's OP's problem?  The coach is 100% playing the game that they believe the kid cares more about their sport than their degree...so no way they quit the team to pursue their STEM degree.[/quote]

The last 12 words of your post are confusing to me. Could you explain a bit more. Thanks.[/quote]
