[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every school has a budget. Money is allocated each year across many areas, including sports and other non-academic activities. Families have often endowed these programs in perpetuity, never having participated themselves, whether it be the concert hall, a pool, a hockey rink, etc. Why? Schools need well-rounded students. Schools need lessons beyond the classroom. Guess what? They are right. [/quote] None of these is a good justification for giving athletes a backdoor into the university. Athletes already get a holistic boost for being athletes, why isn't that enough for them?[/quote] These schools want to field teams which are elite and well beyond competitive. Doing so requires participation in the quest for talent because athletic talent combined with academic talent is a rare commodity and leaving to chance the ability to form a competitive team isn’t an option for these schools.[/quote]
