Depends on the ACC - a top ACC like Duke/WakeForest/UNC for a top soccer player will go a long way

Best bet is to start for UNC, win a couple of championships, get a Rhodes Scholarship and study at Oxford while playing in the Premier League (men or women), then come back to the Ivy for a Phd. before winning a Nobel.
If we're dreaming let's dream big...

Too many variables to answer this as a generality. What is the soccer level of the kid, what is the academic focus of the kid, what is the priority for the kid, the list goes on.
Several ACC schools are very good academically and have large loyal alumni networks, so the specific school matters too for longer term life prospects

Ivy for long term job prospects, ACC if they are good enough to receive money. I can only imagine the grind of an Ivy League schedule and academics load. Maybe crazy but I’ve steered my D away from Ivy, it sounds like a tough four years. I’m sure I’ll be corrected but just my impression
