Looking for advice. Son is being recruited by some lower level D1s, D2s, 3 and NAIA. We knew there wouldn’t be money in track, but thought it would help him with admissions for reach schools. It has, but with merit scholarships we are still looking at 60k plus a year, and we can’t fathom that it’s worth it for the D1s and D3s he likes. The NAIAs that have reached out to him are Christian schools which he doesn’t want. Any NAIAs that aren’t Christian , that have great running programs but also strong school spirit/fun communities that might offer athletic scholarships?

Our financial situation changed with my husband getting laid off, but our assets are still too strong for FA. We saved 100k in 529, and are hoping he wouldn’t need to take more than 40k in loans. I realize the privilege of our assets, but we aren’t willing to liquidate them to pay for college.
