transferring OUT of harvard

i'm an athlete at harvard who is thinking of jumping ship (i'm just not getting what i need training wise). for me personally, stanford is really the only school that i feel might be worth the trade-off.

i'm not going to be an athlete forever, so would this slight step down (in cachet more than anything else) make a considerable difference come recruiting time?

nobody is going to fault you for transferring from harvard to stanford - someone who can excel academically while competing in the pac-10 will get a job he or she wants regardless of the market. make the choice that is right for you and don't look back.
