Harvard actually recruits athletes (unlike MIT). Their entire team was mostly international recruits (unlike our team which was mostly Americans). I heard rumors of low performing academic stats, but outstanding athletes there. [/quote]

what are you talking about. of course they recruit. 20% of MIT students play a varsity sport. they dont offer athletic scholarships, but that's not unusual for top schools that fully meet need. [/quote]

Recruitment at Ivies, which are D1 and allow athletes to know whether they will be admitted before they apply ED/SCEA is entirely different than MIT in D3 sports.  [/quote]

MIT recruits. They do pre-reads. They even have 4 different DI varsity teams.. men's lightweight, mens heavyweight, women's lightweight and women's heavyweight)

if you want to say MIT and Alabama have different recruiting styles, sure. But to say they don't recruit is incorrect. [/quote]

But the pool of 18 year old athletes who can make it through MIT's core curriculum - physics, chemistry, calculus, etc - is tiny. Pretty much every "athlete" at MIT is a great student. MIT and Alabama are recruiting completely different kids. There is no gliding through MIT. Being a good athlete can help with MIT admissions, but only after a fairly high academic threshold has already been crossed. There aren't any dumbasses on the MIT football team. And the coaches don't even try to recruit students who can't hack the academics. [/quote]
