<p>In the end analysis, the prep route is not going to work for my son unfortunately. The Head Coach from the Ivy program explained it like this. If my son had not already been accepted at the college, the prep route could be a good way to go. But since he has, the Ivy League may view my son going to prep school for a year as trying to circumvent the Ivy prohibition on redshirting and may look at it like they were trying to stash a player away for next year. So since it may not look right, even though we initiated the prep route to keep my son sharp since he was deferred til 2010, it can’t work. I understand the coach’s position and we will work it out somehow. Thanks for all who gave helpful feedback.</p>
