I remember that when the Ivy League made the announcement that they were going test optional in 12/2021, lax coaches immediately told committed recruits they didn’t have to take the test anymore. There were commits who were intending to take the test every single month to maximize their chance of meeting the school minimum who stopped studying and never submitted a score.
I am surprised that coaches in other sports from the same school would still make their recruits submit, especially since non-athlete regular applicants to the school were no longer required to do so. That would be a bit of a double standard.
