As a family we are new to the ROTC thing, but not the sports recruiting piece. My other two daughters are student-athletes, and were both recruited with scholarships to top D1 programs in one of the five major conferences just to give some context. I cannot imagine either of them being able to juggle their commitments to their team, STEM majors AND ROTC. However, with that being said, "playing at the collegiate level" can mean a lot of different things. There is a big difference between DI and DIII, not to disrespect any student-athlete, there are just different expectations on the part of the different divisions and programs. I taught college at an NAIA school and many of our athletes were two sport athletes on scholarship, as well as also having jobs, that would be almost unheard of in NCAA DI. So I would definitely talk to your coach and your school's ROO about if that is something that does happen at that school. Good luck, it sounds like you have many opportunities and decisions to make, I am sure you will figure out the best choice for you.
