What Influences Student-Athletes to Commit to a School?

Student-Athletes today are faced with very difficult choices constantly. One of the most difficult choices that they face is what school to attend to continue their educational/athletic careers. Depending on the level (Division I, II, III), there can be a variety of different factors that can pull them in different directions. The factors that could determine this decision are proximity to home, relationship with coaches, professional opportunities, etc. The decision that they make can set the trajectory for the rest of their lives depending on the choice they make. The purpose of this synthesis project is to review the literature of studies that have been completed to determine what are the top factors in the selection process for today’s student-athlete.
