...does not require a tremendous amount of pure athleticism, not overcrowded, less competitive in the long haul, and all the colleges and universities that count (with ivy gardens and large endowments) have teams with seats to fill.  all the kids in fancy private schools and suburban public schools know this..this is their ultimate hook...it's a simple matter of statistics (game theory)

...to water down current elitism at these kinds of colleges and level the playing grounds I highly recommend that inner city and rural public school students, home schooled students, charter-schooled students seriously consider taking up these sports in primary and secondary school.  This "differing" skill set may make a huge impact on the choice of colleges one applies to and ultimately matriculates at.

Of course, there are frightened denying naysayers simply petrified by this new competition and the diminishing American dream for unatheletic entitled draft dodging Trust fund babies...a la Trump and brothers.

You cannot hide.  We will find you even as you are increasingly escaping to retreats in Vermont (e.g., Middlebury), New Hampshire (e.g., Dartmouth) and Maine (E.g., Bowdoin)!!
