Varsity Athletics: Are they worth it?

Hi everyone!

I am being recruited for a varsity sport at USNA (I am interested in attending regardless of sports).

My question is:
Are varsity athletics worth the great time commitment?

and

Is it possible to maintain a very good class rank when involved with a varsity sport?

lastly

Does participating in them not allow time for any other ECs?

Thank y'all for your time! Any advice is greatly appreciated Image may be NSFW.
