[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basketball announced the same 2-team model last week.[/quote]

So is this correct: WCAC is for the recruits. The independent league is for regular kids like it used to be back in the day? And this 2-team model means that some kids who would have been edged out by the recruits might now have a chance to play? What's the down side?[/quote]

Only potential downside is to the student body overall if they will recruit for these varsity B teams.

Just looking at FB, basketball and baseball (girls too for basketball?)…that’s like another 100 kids just for those three sports, so nearly 10% of the school.[/quote]

Is that too much?   For those of you who seek out the SLACs....what is their model of recruited athletes as a % of the entire student [academic] body?  Checking online, if appears to be &gt; 10%, at schools many of you love.

At highly selective SLACs (the “elite” tier), it's frequently 30%–40%+
Examples:
 - Amherst ~33%
 - Bates ~39%
 - Williams ~40%[/quote]

Well, that’s another 10% on top of like the current 25%.

It’s also safe to say that SJC athletes aren’t all that interested in playing for D3 schools…so not sure why you interjected those.[/quote]

The poster was clearly just using it as a point of comparison of student bodies. [/quote]

I get that but they had to say “at schools many of you love”.  It’s safe to say many SJC kids don’t love D3 schools.[/quote]
