[quote=Anonymous]I sense on this forum that there are some that feel that there is an inherent conflict between sports and academics. It is as if every dollar devoted to sports is one less dollar enhancing the academic quality of the school. I think it is rather silly. Sports can be an integral part of a young person's education. Important values such as teamwork, courage, sportsmanship, perseverance, and many others can be taught on the field and on the court. There are also excellent universities that excel in various sports: Duke, Stanford, Notre Dame, etc. Of course, sports can be given too much of an importance at any school, but I suspect that at most of the schools in question (GP, Landon, for example), sports are seen as part of the educational process, not the most important part. Am I off base? [/quote]
