[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was watching another thread where moms were arguing back and forth over athletic recruiting and it seemed like both neither side was talking about what I think is the real question. Why do they place so much value on them? It's not just the top SLACs, (they are very heavy on recruits) but it is the smaller R1s as well. MIT, Chicago, JHU, WashU, Rochester, etc. all recruit a large number of athletes. NYU as well. These[b] schools obviously see great value in athletic recruiting, what are we missing?[/quote]
It is still too much, but JHU is 10% athletes (Rochester is 9%) while Williams is over a third. In that sense, your R1 analogy falls flat.

JHU listed 60 men's lacrosse player on ope.ed.gov website.

But if you go to the school's roster:

There are 99 players.

It's more than 10% athletes. [/quote]
Possibly data from a different year, counting injured non-playing kids, practice players etc. Trust the government reported data more than your website perusal. And even if it is 11%, it does not compare with 35-40% now does it?[/quote]
