Huh?
I’m not a troll. I have a kid at one of the schools mentioned. I thought it was interesting - and telling - about institutional priorities [/quote]

Look at the title!  Shame on you.

Rice loves nerds, but they are also good at making sure kids are becoming social young adults.  [/quote]

It’s clear the admissions office is not talking to the athletics department. There’s a mismatch. The type of students they are admitting are not participating in campus life in the way that the school is prioritizing (by how they’re choosing to spend money). That’s a fact.

It’s not shameful to admit that.[/quote]

This is the stupidest conclusion ever. How about getting your team to win? Them people will come.[/quote]

A lot of students who don’t grow up where Football is watched or played won’t be showing up to football games. They have increased the number if international students and students from outside Texas. Many immigrant and first gen students don’t grow up with the college football tradition.

So it often has nothing to do with winning. [/quote]
