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]

This is moronically false.  Truly top athletes will select schools with usually the best athletic teams and they don't care much about the academic quality of the school.

The UVA baseball coach left to coach at Mississippi State and the bulk of the UVA team transferred with him (because the new coach from Duke brought all his Duke players with him to UVA).

The top Ivy athletes in football and basketball are increasingly transferring to Power 4 schools where they can earn serious NIL $$$s.  New flash...it's not Duke or Stanford but places like LSU or Ole Miss.[/quote]

But families that value education over academics don’t have kids that do this.  My kid could have played (was recruited at several D1 soccer schools)- but went to the Ivy, we are talking Fairleigh Dickinson, st Mary, Randolph Macon or Radford….vs the Ivies he was admitted to on academics. [/quote]
