While I agree with the above statement, I think a lot also depends on the player as well.
This is a definite conversation to have during recruiting with the coaching staff as well as the athletic academic advisor (preferred if you can meet with them). If the program is paying a lot of academic dollars, they may have a say in what they feel would be in their best interests as well as the players.
