[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep appears to be moving away from that with the new administration. Doesn't make a lot of financial sense for Prep to do anything now but push the academics side to make it a school worth $35K for all, and not a school floating financial aid to have better sports teams. The latter makes no fiscal sense for them. [/quote]

Nope.

Athletics will remain a big deal at Prep although there will be a shift back to football as the featured sport.

Prep, among the Catholic schools, has the tightest knit alumni group and they are very interested in athletic success. And the school needs their involvement and support more than ever now.

There's already enough very-well paid academic resources at Prep to upgrade the academics. But the need to bring in 25% more students means the school will have to lower academic requirements slightly and not increase them. Good academics are primarily determined at the Admissions stage and not in the classroom. Garbage in - Garbage out. Prep is not in a position to be more academically-selective.[/quote]
