<p>"I know of several of the NESCAC schools that intentionally don’t schedule practices until after all classes are out in the afternoon, and practices are over in time to hit the dining hall with all the non-athletes, "</p>
<p>??</p>
<p>That seems odd. “all classes are over”??? Doesn’t every school have classes all day long with some in the evening? Doesn’t every school have labs that run til 3 or 4 pm everyday? (or even later)? </p>
<p>Maybe these schools have some odd schedule where all classes end at 2pm. lol</p>
<p>More likely, the athletes have preferred registration and are only given classes that end by 1 or 2 pm. So, that practices begin after THEIR classes have ended.</p>
