[quote=Anonymous]I get the impression that most of the previous commenters didn’t actually read the article. The point is that, between the increasing numbers of kids playing these niche sports, and the colleges’ increasing level of discomfort with the fact that they serve only to benefit the admission chances of rich, “overserved” students, they aren’t the golden ticket they used to be. COVID has given colleges the perfect excuse to eliminate these sports, and many are doing it. Having a kid in a DC private school, none of this was news, but it was fascinating to me how many coaches they got to go on the record with their unflattering (at best) descriptions of this world and the parents.
