[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Athletes are not in the same track. But there is no reason for envy. They have to work incredibly hard while also being full time students. It’s a different educational experience along with a different admissions standard. [/quote]

So tired of the elitist attitude of athletes and parents. Kids who hold full time jobs, practice an instrument or perform have very challenging and demanding schedules. Athletes aren’t the only ones working hard. [/quote]

Read what I said. They are getting a different educational experience. As in, after they get in. They aren’t getting all the perks and opportunities of non athlete kids.

And I am not an athlete or an athlete parent. My ex boyfriend, who I despise now, was a D1 athlete. As terrible a person and boyfriend as he was, I can tell you he worked harder than anyone I knew while in college, because he had a serious full time job as an athlete on top of being a full time student. It sucked for him. It’s just not the same thing at all and it’s nothing to envy. [/quote]

You should learn to read too. Everything said there about a full time job, a musical instrument or any other college activity can be just as time consuming as being a single season athlete. It’s not like kids stop doing these things once they get to college. [/quote]

*if* they are a music admit they are just as much on a different track as an athlete GTFOH [/quote]

Wrong. Sports admittance has everything to do with game money. There is no money in ballet or music or any other skill. There are no music admits for regular universities, except in very special cases. The professionals go to music-specific colleges, of which Curtis is the best (not Juiliard). Curtis takes 5 students a year, worldwide, and pays their tuition. Guess how competitive you have to be to get in?

The pro-athletes on this board have NO CLUE how hard others work to get where they are. Be careful, because you're just helping give all athletes a bad name.

harvard getting a ton of ticket revenue from women's field hockey or men's fencing then? do they even bother checking for tickets to watch?[/quote]

with the NIL money women's are outpacing men so we shall see.[/quote]

yes I saw that the women's volleyball team at Cornell recently signed a NIL for $30MM/year, just like Bryce Harper. Stick that in you pipe and smoke it, nerds![/quote]
