[quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that some families have, perhaps, overinvested in athletics as a means to, what a D-1 scholarship or a leg up in admissions to the extent that they then denigrate athletics at any other "non-sports" school. I am of the mind that team sports are a fantastic life lesson and if a child has superior skills or a mad love for a sport (or sports) they should pursue them at the highest level possible. However, that doesn't mean that the life-lessons cannot be learned at "non-sports" schools which still field competitive team sports. [/quote]
