I think that an athlete should do a full body workout.
Due to your expensive time that you need to do your homework, get home and eat and get ready to trainings, I guess that you'll prefer to do a full body workout. In addition, in season you should maintain your strength. Further, a split is more for muscle building which you will prefer to do on the off season. any activity even if it's weightlifting will influence your nervous system and will make you tired and fatigue.
When you train your legs, do it on training days. the other days should be rest days for your legs.

for a newer weightlifter a full body program is best, for someone who needs a bit more time to recover due to higher loads and volumes(because of more gym experience) then a upper/lower body split is ideal. full body routines develop more mass if i could keep doing that type of program forever i would, but the body will break down when the loads become too high. i would stay away from 5 day body part splits though
