[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think colleges would all be better off if we kept a few revenue generating and profile raising sports, those might be the dirty secret admissions like donor class, and moved on.

So many rich kids getting into Princeton for sailing or water polo. It adds nothing.  It's dumb. These kids bring nothing special to the table.The campus would be better off w more kids who have worked jobs or been the yearbook editor and gotten a 1550[/quote]

I put this to my DD at Yale and she said she’d rather have dinner with a champion sailor than yet another 1550 yearbook editor ;)[/quote]

"yet another"? my kid is at Princeton and says there are no newspaper/yearbook kids there. we were talking about this over Christmas. high schools have moved to a million niche journals that come out once every three years so every kid is a founding editor to the journal of molecular sciences or international relations (one issue ever)[/quote]

Ok insert “founding editor of whatever”[/quote]
