[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][Recruited athletes are at the bottom of the barrel for academic ratings. [/quote] Whether or not this is true -- and it almost certainly isn't, because I know for a fact that plenty of recruited athletes graduated with better grades than non-athlete me at our HYPS school -- is beside the point. Clearly we disagree about whether recruited athletes add value to a university. You say no, I say yes. No one is claiming that you can't have that opinion. The boards of trustees running colleges and universities in this country stand overwhelmingly on the side of recruited athletes adding value. Those like you who want things to be a different way, have at it. The free market has spoken.[/quote] This is a good point. Substitute "URM" 'legacy" "first gen" or whatever else you want in for "recruited athletes" and it should be equally valid.[/quote]
