Re: Are College Camps Wort It?
Son is heading to the Vandy camp next week. I'll report back "if" I get information..........14 y/o thinks I'm on a need to know basis (and I guess we've created this monster by telling him that this is "his journey").

Thats depends on the type of camp it is. Prospect camps can be 1 to 2 days and youth camps are usually 4 days.

There isn’t a list. It’s why good grades are so important. It opens up other avenues for money.

That's right - no list. It would be very valuable information if anyone were able to pull it together. But programs keep this information confidential (and it can and does change from time to time). Recruits are at a disadvantage b/c they don't have this information but that's the way it is. All the more reason to focus on grades (as stated by RJM), as academic scholarships generally are more readily available and obtained v. baseball money.

There is twenty-two times as much academic money as athletic money. You’re guaranteed getting into classes. You’re not guaranteed getting in the lineup. Hit 3.0 in class and keep your academic scholarship.

My search was of HSbball web via google...my mistake...thank you @anotherparent and @d-mac for this. The information in that thread and here is helpful. I will now search the forum search for a thread of insights on combo academic + baseball scholarships. I have used the @Bogeyorpar list regularly in our (kid + me) search for schools for my 2022.

Take the SAT/ACT early (and most importantly) often. While a few schools want to see every test score ever, most schools just take the best score, and many will superscore. My son (only) took the SAT three times, and his third time (fall senior year) was his lowest score of the three. He ended up superscoring his 1st attempt's (soph) verbal with his 2nd attempt (junior) math at an underfunded mid-major college that is giving him 3x the scholarship money in academics over athletics.

Re: Don't sign a Voluntary Withdrawal Form
I was told yesterday Pitt informed its entire 2018 freshman class they were no longer needed find a new place to play. The NCAA as an organization should burn in hell for allowing these things.

Re: July 1 scholarship notification deadline
An athlete should receive written notification regarding the status of any scholarship for the upcoming year if they had a scholarship the previous year and have eligibility remaining per NCAA Bylaw 15.3.7.1. However, parents may not ever see or be aware of anything if the athlete signed their renewal form prior to leaving campus for the summer. A school can reduce after the July 1 deadline, but only for specific stated reasons, such as becoming academically ineligible or for violating a...

Re: Juco Scholarship Question
I had a player who was offered a75% scholarship a few years ago and he was so excited. He took it made all arrangements then got a bill for $20,000. He was offered 75% scholarship on tuition which did not include room and board. Even though this is a different school model compared to your situation it is an example of why you should see the entire picture that is presented.

The $1000 offer may be the limit set by his school, not by the NJCAA. "Each institution belonging to the NJCAA chooses to compete on the Division I, II or III level in designated sports. Division I colleges may offer full athletic scholarships a maximum of tuition, fees, room and board, course related books, up to $250 in course required supplies, and transportation costs one time per academic year to and from the college by direct route. Division II colleges are limited to awarding tuition,...

Re: Juco Scholarship Question
On that note be sure the state allows JuCo's to offer scholarships. For example, when my son attended a D2 JuCo in VA (In state), as noted NJCAA allows scholarships (tuition and books only for D2 Juco's), but the state (Virginia) did not allow it. Fortunately, he qualified for a grant from the state that covered 95% of his tuition.

“Peck and her father, Steve, said Weinberg told them during the recruiting process that she envisioned Peck becoming her starting center defender.” What coach recruits a player they don’t believe has the ability to become a starter. Coaches recruit an entire team of players they hope become starters. Not everyone becomes a starter. It’s mathematically impossible.

I was wondering how the transfer portal was affecting female sports. Thanks for the article. My first reaction was ‘tough sheeet’ but there are other points in the article that do make me feel like it’s a rough situation. But, in the end, the family and player agreed to a restructuring of the scholarship and then got the ax from the team. If she stays at the school, does she keep that scholarship?

I read the entire article. As a whole Natick High School is typically strong in sports. I don’t know about field hockey.

The girl was told there was a significant gap between her talent level and much of the team. The coach advised her to transfer if she...

What it Sounds Like to Lose Your Scholarship
Since the topic comes up often on this forum, the Boston Globe has a sobering look at an athlete getting pressured out of a scholarship by the coach -- including a tape-recording of the conversation: www.bostonglobe.com/2023/06/29/sports/umass-field-hockey/ It's not baseball (though the piece does report that UMass funds less than a single full scholarship for the baseball team), but I'm sure these conversations are universal.

Re: What it Sounds Like to Lose Your Scholarship
How many players would commit if told there’s about a 25% they see the field? To be told you can win a starting position is true. A player, along with the parent has to become educated on what is being said and what it means. I’m guessing Dylan Crews was told he’s the shortstop (before moving to center) and lead off hitter if he commits. Other players were told they have an opportunity start. Players have to hear what’s being said instead of putting the best possible spin on it in their...

Re: What it Sounds Like to Lose Your Scholarship
Again, the coach is saying things like: "Everything Weinberg told them was so appealing, they said, that Peck verbally accepted Weinberg’s offer of a 30 percent athletic scholarship for four years." "Peck agreed to accept 10 percent of a full scholarship each of her first two years, then 50 percent each of her last two years." Should they have done their homework and went to sites like this forum to ask questions? Yes. Does that justify the coach communicating these promises and expectation?

Re: What it Sounds Like to Lose Your Scholarship
I do agree with this part wholeheartedly. This is definitely not something my family would have done. Even if the coach was in the wrong in setting incorrect expectations and giving false promises, burning bridges like this can only lead to more issues. If I'm another coach, I would stay away from this family regardless of what the previous coach did wrong. Another thing in the article that was interesting. It says both parents are school teachers? School teachers earn that much to sink in...

Wow. There certainly seems like enough blame to go around. Coach did an awful job of managing expectations and the scholarship, and the recruit had a unrealistic idea of her talent level.

Apparently this family feels the need to throw some hard earned cash at the problem. As is typical, only the lawyers benefit from...

The average Natick teacher’s salary is 65K. The typical range is 55K to 78K. Chances are parents of a twenty year old are forty-five to fifty-five and likely on the upper end of the pay scale. Between to two parents they likely have a household income of over 140K.

Re: What it Sounds Like to Lose Your Scholarship
Recruiting is based on projection. Top level players are offered and commit two or three years before they hit the college campus. Some players don’t continue to develop on the track the college coach expects. Regardless every sport has more players on the roster than can get on the field. Both situations create an environment the player isn’t going to survive. What recreated problems is this particular athlete is a wilting, precious petunia. For the first time in her life she was told she’s...

Yes, really! What do you know about field hockey? Or what research did you do before posting? The 2022 UMass roster has 24 players. There are only 11 players on the field. Substitution is very limited. Given UMass is a top 25 program I’m guessing everyone who commits considerers themselves to be an excellent player and expects to get on the field. The numbers say more than half will be wrong. What a normal, well adjusted athlete would do when told they’re not needed in the program is find...

Re: What it Sounds Like to Lose Your Scholarship
Some of the old timers here might recall my daughter's plight. She was pretty good and most of the schools in the MVC and OVC wanted her. One coach began telling other coaches that he had her and that she had verballed. In fact, on an unofficial visit, he had her put on a jersey and took pictures of her in the jersey. At the time, we didn't think anything about it. Players in that program started emailing her and we went down for several games. She spent the night with some of those players.

She doesn't sound like a whiner to me. She sounds like someone who wants to educate other sports families about the kind of thing that goes on. I didn't read it as particularly about gender. It's a family saying that they were misled by what the coach said. If a coach recruits you, gives you a scholarship, and tells you you have the ability to play for the team, why would you not believe her? Once she got there she was told there was a gap between her and the other players? I mean, come on.

Touché. Almost everyone that has played baseball (or any sport) has played for a bad coach. Part of the maturation of any athlete is learning to overcome obstacles - and many times the obstacle shows up in the form of your own coach. An athlete that is truly passionate, and loves the game, doesn’t often let one bad coach (experience) kill their desire to play the sport. I don’t know one high level athlete that at one time or another wasn’t misled (or worse) by a coach. I think it’s clear...

Call out a coach and you won’t be playing there. Transferring becomes an issue. The player is seen as a trouble maker. Only players in great demand can call out a coach. A player not good enough to be in the program is a face in the crowd of talent.
