[quote=Anonymous]To the people who keep defending a world where HS and collegiate athletics take on outsized importance, try this thought experiment: Imagine a world where colleges and HS did not field a basketball or hockey or football or LAX or swim team etc. *Of course* they could use the fact that so-and-so was an exceptional athlete in evaluating them as a candidate, just as they could use if someone was a chess grandmaster, or concert violinist, or quiz bowl champion. All of those activities, though valuable, are not the core of the mission of a HS or a university, which is to educate young minds. Are those things helpful to an education? Sure, but they can (and should) all be accomplished without school sponsorship. [/quote]
