...and my point is simple - larger schools like Carolina or Clemson offer many majors within which one can pick from if they do want to change. Smaller schools simply do not have the same number of majors. Therefore, if you do end up going to a smaller school on a soccer scholarship (which is reality for the majority of even serious soccer playing SC kids) you need to keep in mind what majors they offer and make sure you are not going to find yourself between a rock and a hard place if you decide to change majors. Don't find yourself picking a major just to pick something or the consequences may follow you long after your soccer playing days.

Like the NCAA commercial says - there are 360,00 (or something like that) college athletes and almost all will turn professional in something other than sports.

College is about education.
