so a while back I posted about how DD's college coach was giving her the cold shoulder.
yada yada yada and she decommitted last week. Shed no tear. Happy to be a regular student somewhere else than play where's she's not comfortable.
But now a small NAIA school has approached and there's a chance she can go to this school almost for free when you count academic and athletic money. she might start as a freshman.
I know it depends on the kid, but how do you weigh this -
A - Decent academic school that has her major and a chance to play softball and graduate with no debt.
B - Above average academic school, no softball, at a cost of $100,000 over 4 years.
DD's career choice requires grad school, and it's a competitive field, but those in this field have told her that if you are outstanding academically that your undergrad school won't matter that much.
