Athletes & McNary High School Forecasting and Class Selection
Please note that McNary Artes de Language classes are not yet NCAA approved core courses.
It is on you, the student, to make sure your transcript meets NCAA Core Course obligations if you are aiming for D1 or D2. Come see Mrs. Conolly if you want help.
To play D3 or Juco or NAIA - you must be academically admissible to the college.
The Landscape of College Athletics

Dave Morris, runs the College Athletic Advisor
IEC here, hope you find this a useful way to think about the coming changes to NCAA D1 athletics...
Looking at the House v NCAA settlement and how it will impact our advisees and families, it's pretty useful to think of funding for student-athletes as coming in 3 "buckets:"
Scholarships: the OG recruiting tool... basically a tuition discount. In reality, every college negotiates tuition with students to some extent, this is one way to provide a discount although non-scholarship schools (i.e. D3's and Ivies) certainly have other ways of discounting and remaining competitive on price for students they target.
NIL Payouts: money paid by outside entities to student-athletes for their intellectual property. This money can come from "collectives" or other booster groups related to a particular school or from other sources based on the value of a student's intellectual property. This means that IEC's can advise students on ways to enhance that value!
Direct "revenue sharing" payouts from colleges. Under the House framework, Power 5 (now Power 4) conference schools and others that "opt-in" to the settlement can pay UP TO just over $20 million in 2025-26 to student-athletes IN ADDITION to scholarships and NIL deals. It's expected that the vast majority of this money will go to football and men's basketball students. Title IX will NOT apply.
Schools that work under the "House" framework also will move from scholarship limits to ROSTER limits. This means that even though they are under no obligation to increase aid, they will limit the total number of students rather than the amount of tuition discounts (since with NIL and revenue sharing, these numbers are no longer meaningful).
Colleges NOT covered by "House" which includes the Ivy League, any D1 "opt-outs," and all the rest of the NCAA and NAIA, remains unchanged... for now. There are currently multiple lawsuits looking for more from the colleges....
Should I use NCSA?
Should I use NCSA?
This is Mrs. Conolly's opinion from what I see and hear from colleges.
Coaches do not like working with a 3rd party.
NCSA is likely committed to helping you find a roster spot somewhere - but that is very likely to land on D3. Which means the money you receive will ONLY be for your academics/grades/GPA. You could have worked this process on your own w/out paying for that service.
If you sign in spring of senior year with a small D3 college (or otherwise), you have given up the ability to appeal your college financial aid award letter. There is little I can do to help you receive more money from a college the moment you commit to them.
Using NCSA may mean you did not dig as deep into the school climate and culture as you should; which means the school may end up not being a good fit.
If a school costs $73,000 Cost of Attendance (COA) and you receive $35k in scholarship money for your grades, your family will still need to come up with $38,000 per year for you to play at X school.
As a result, it is very important for you to know if you will qualify for federal money (max $7400 per year), and thus, Oregon need based money (max $7800 per year). If you qualify for federal and Oregon need based college money, you will VERY likely receive university need based money, but it can vary widely on the amount and there will be a gap in college funding to meet the $73,000 per year.

Collegiate Athletics Visit Questions - Are you considering playing collegiate sports? When you meet with coaches consider questions like these.
Should I take the ACT or SAT, an Athletics Perspective (Some selective colleges may still ask you to submit a test score privately to the coach which he/she will forward to the admissions department. Then they can advise you whether to apply test optional or not. But yes, you may still need a test for the most selective colleges/universities!)

Are you filling out the interest profile forms on each college's athletics website?
Rising Juniors should have 25-45 schools of every level on their radar if serious about finding a school where they can play their sport.
Only students should contact coaches, not parents.
Only attend ID camps where colleges you want to attend will attend.
If the conversation becomes serious with a coach, ask for a financial pre-read. Run the college(s) net price calculators. Can you get in? Can you afford it?
Keep all social media content (and even your friends content) clean.
