I still don’t see how colleges won’t be able to still keep doing it with.holistic admissions .  The whole process is such a random crapshoot anyway,  [/quote]

Maybe sports really shouldn't be that important to colleges.  Much better things to spend the money on. [/quote]

It's customer-driven, and you don't get to decide where I should spend my money.[/quote]

what customer?  if they want to be business, they should pay taxes like businesses and don't get any State/Federal supports[/quote]

This is a great idea. Make colleges pay taxes on their property and their endowments.[/quote]

No.  They are non profits.  Sorry that is the way it works.  And you would not pay on an endowment in any event -- just on the taxable gains.

But the bigger picture ---- a college with just the best test takers (and most will go back to requiring tests) is not a place most would wantr to be at.  Not enough diveristy of experience and thought.  [/quote]
