It depends on the sport!! Lacrosse players are definitely turning down big time lax schools- Hopkins, UMD, Notre Dame, Cuse, to attend great Ivy league programs- boys- CPPHY, girls- PP. Some athlete are also turning down Stanford and Duke to attend Ivies- why because the Ivy league and Patrot league are the ONLY two athletic conferences who have rules in place to limit amount of time spent on a sport. Stanford and Duke do NOT- neither does Hop, UVA, etc.
