[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are talking about all sport like lacrosse or crew or field hockey, these recruits statistically will presumptively be successful in their chosen careers.[/quote]

What a flimsy statement.  I am sure kids who play lacrosse or crew are disproportionately from wealthy families and have grown up with lots of opportunities.  They aren’t successful because of their sport.  (Not even getting to what is the definition of success and what stats are you using).

Yes, OP, I find colleges favoritism to atheists to be so bizarre and frustrating.  College is not an athletic endeavor.[/quote]

Athletics help fund most of the fancy buildings your studious kids study in.[/quote]

No. Men’s basketball and football fund the fancy buildings. These athletes should be put into a different admission pile. I don’t understand why colleges still are recruiting athletes and giving athletic participants a leg up in admissions for minor sports teams barely anyone on campus goes to watch. Who goes and watches sports like swimming and tennis?[/quote]

You are dense.  If a school has a team it needs athletes to put on the team.  You should be saying schools shouldn’t have tennis or swim teams.  Continuing with that logic you would be left with just basketball and football as the only sports in college.  That is a terrible idea.[/quote]
