Abstract	One in five college athletes say their sports participation has prevented them from choosing the major they wanted, according to survey results released at the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA's) 2007 annual convention. The survey also found that time demands on athletes had increased in the past two decades, with many players spending as many hours practicing and playing their sports during the off-season as they do in-season. NCAA president Myles Brand noted, however, that while 20 percent of players across all three divisions said their sports participation had prevented them from majoring in what they really wanted, only 5 percent regretted the fact. This report, "Goals: Growth, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Learning of Students in College," is based on the findings of a survey completed last year by more than 20,000 athletes at 627 institutions at all three levels of the NCAA.
