[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one here has given a reason why recruited athletes should be RECRUITED rather than treated like other extracurriculars for admission to an academically challenging institution.[/quote] Money. Obviously at the big D1 football schools like Alabama and Michigan. But even Vanderbilt is making a billion over ten years as part of the SEC. I'd imagine Notre Dame, Stanford, Northwestern, and Duke are all finding football very profitable as well. Even if they have losing teams, the tv contracts and shared revenue arrangements in the big conferences are significant revenue generators. And Notre Dame is Notre Dame. Why it might matter at Yale or Amherst is a mystery they'll have to explain themselves. I'd guess alumni donations. And fostering a sense of community since a lot of alumni do care about football.
