<p>Fall 2011, I was offered a spot on a sports team of a Div I school. I was told that if I wanted to join the team for sure, I had to do the Early Decision application. I told him I would not do that, and applied to the school through the Regular Decision application and did not list myself as an athlete.</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, I was accepted into the university. In the acceptance package, it noted that all my tuition/housing deposit fees were waived. There was nothing in the acceptance package about athletics.</p>
<p>About two weeks later, the coach emailed me (and spelled my name wrong...) and asked if I was still interested in joining the team. </p>
<p>How does this athletic business work? Did I get accepted to the school on the condition that I join the team? Aren't there other things involved, such as a contract or letter of intent? I did not receive anything during the Regular Decision process from the coach.</p>
<p>Also, I called the admissions office but they said they’d call me back and they still haven’t.</p>
<p>You need to contact the Coach! D was being recruited for DII swimming, everything happened through the coach. FA wouldnt send out anything until offer was made by the coach.</p>
<p>Did your daughter’s acceptance package have any mention of athletics in it?</p>
<p>No but only because she got $700 more by accepting the FA offer since we are low income. But my daughters swim coach here also has a senior daughter who was recruited and signed at a D1 school and her FA didn’t have the swimming scholarship in it either…and they don’t qualify for FA. </p>
<p>But both she and my D are always in contact with the coach because once the coach makes an offer it goes to FA and is adjusted (once you sign). </p>
<p>Have you actually received a formal $ offer? Why haven’t you contacted the coach? You said you received an email…you need to call or reply via email at least.</p>
