Just read this and feeling injustice is real. How bad is it at other T20?[/quote]

You are being deceptive. Athletes make up about 15% of the class. Legacy and large donations make up the majority of admissions.

And Ivy league schools need athletes: Harvard sponsors 40 teams, Princeton sponsors 36 and Yale sponsors 32. Athletes constitute a significant percentage of the student body at Ivy League schools:
