[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree.  If your friend’s DD is academically qualified and someone who would be a good applicant at that school anyway, the school and student are making a good decision to lock in the relationship.  Playing a sport at a level high enough to commit while maintaining grades, etc. deserves to be rewarded just as much as the kid who fiends 20 hours a week in the lab or practicing an instrument.  Sports also enhance a school’s community and school spirit, so benefit all students.[/quote]

The problem is it isn't valued "just as much". Sports are valued more.[/quote]

+1  When top schools start recruiting and giving scholarships to as many musicians as athletes,’give us a call.

They do… art, performing arts, band, orchestra, etc

They all have scholarships it’s just that people don’t post that on FB. They just post “going to Ohio state” … then later you see pictures of them in the marching band.

Also every team has a team manger scholarship… so a scholarship for planning/managing/social media post.

Just because you have not educated yourself about these scholarships doesn’t mean they don’t exist.[/quote]

But we aren't talking about scholarships, we are talking about recruiting, and reserving a spot for an athlete. Do tuba players get recruited and commit junior year?[/quote]
