[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the hysterics and I don't know how any private school parents in this area that could be surprised by this - the ruse of recruiting wealthy unqualified athletes that somehow never play a game is rampant.[/quote] No, it isn't. Most coaches can't afford to waste slots on people who will not be on the team. There may be a few non-scholarship recruits that are used to raise the graduation rate and SAT average of the athletic program, but they are always at least legitimate practice players who participate fully except they rarely play in the games. Using slots for people who did not even play the sport well in high school is not something that would be tolerated by admissions offices. If the coach doesn't need that slot, the admissions office would much rather take it back. [/quote]
