[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top LACs need athletics because the alums want it. Amherst vs Williams is well attended. These schools do not want all nerds. [/quote] photo of Amherst vs Williams game. I guess well attended is relative? https://williamsrecord.com/468250/sports/football-crushes-amherst-21-0-at-homecoming/[/quote] That is a sparse, small crowd. I think football is not very popular at LACs (versus large state schools whose teams are big brands). My DD is at a top ten LAC and she says no one cares about it there either. Having recruited athletes at LACs seems it add little to the other students' lives. [b]It's just a lever to get in, like legacy.[/b][/quote] Unfortunately, it’s not. I don’t think some would mind if it was a pinky on the scale like legacy or some other extracurricular; but it is not a pinky, more like a whole fist applying pressure. There is nothing like it.[/quote]
