[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact is some of these elite athletes are training upwards of 15-20 hours per week. Pershing a passion- and if they can maintain a high GPA with a rigorous course load, why shouldn’t they get a boost. A highly skilled musician would also get the same consideration.[/quote] +1 people have no idea how much time it takes to be good enough to play in college. 20 hours is the minimum [/quote] It takes $$$$$$$$ to which a lot of people like to conveniently ignore. You can be an awesome field hockey player or swimmer, but if your parents are unwilling or unable to pay thousands of dollars per year in club fees, travel, equipment and uniforms, you aren’t getting recruited. It’s FAR from a meritocracy![/quote]
