[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fencing Sailing Equestrian Your rich white people sports![/quote] As a mom of an equestrian, I would say it doesn’t really help. There are a very few NCAA teams. Most are IHSA, and the schools don’t heavily recruit. [/quote] Not to mention to get recruited for NCAA you need to be placing in the BigEq finals. Which means you are probably spending a few hundred grand per year on the sport. It is hardly a worthwhile investment. A large donation would be much smarter if you are doing it for the purpose of college admissions advantages.[/quote] Yep. Definitely a given that a scholarship would not "pay off." We easily spend $40k a year and my kid, although good, is nowhere near that level. We couldn't afford for her to be. I know several other, better, kids that can't move up because the next level horse is too expensive.[/quote]
