[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM's defense of athletic recruitment reminds us all that it is not about making a fair system for education sake, but about how Lily at Sidwell can backdoor her way into a college.[/quote]

I’m not an athlete at all, but as a Carolina grad, I absolutely loved having a college experience that embraced basketball games and the rivalry with Duke.  It was a blast!  Not on board with doing away with athletics.  I admire those who attain the collegiate level even if I never could do it (or would want to).[/quote]

Also not in favor of doing away with athletics. Did anyone suggest that?

Agree with doing away with treating athletes as a special class of applicant.

The suggestion was that the only defenders of athletic recruitment are parents of athletes. I am a fan because I believe the caliber of athletics contributed to my experience as a student.  You don’t get the same level of skill without recruitment.[/quote]

So no one suggested doing away with athletics.

I'd like to suggest it. I mean it has nothing to do with education. Go watch the NBA or something.[/quote]
