<p>From a 2008 USNA Varsity Athletics Program first page inside cover (statistics I guess are from 2006-2007 CY):</p>
<p>More than 34% of Brigade competes in varsity athletics
42% of all female mids are varsity athletes
Varsity Athletes graduate at a higher rate than the Brigade
More than 1500 athletes represent USNA at the D1 Level</p>
<p>I’d guess that from these numbers V. athletes don’t leave early more than anyone else.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
