[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended an Ivy (though not Harvard) and counted plenty of athletes among my friends. I assure you that the overwhelming majority of them were phenomenal students in addition to being talented athletes. Outside of luring some top football and basketball recruits, top colleges do not generally have to lower their admission standards much, if at all, to bring in athletes.[/quote] But why this worship of sports as opposed to other talents? It makes no sense and only is this country is it a thing. But a thing it is so, oh well.[/quote] What other talents? If anyone has a talent and are outstanding at it they are in. Part of why it is a thing here is that sports are lower class in most other countries meaning the best athletes do not go to college and play there. We have a different system. It is a better system but it is different.[/quote]
