[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The athletes' issue is a colossal scam. No business being at a place like Harvard when they are nowhere near the academic credentials from high schools that others admitted have who go there. A  real joke. The athletic conference traps the admissions into accepting many athletes to fill the many sports teams each of the colleges must field.

No one says that athletes don't work hard once there. But they just do not have the stellar grades, scores that most of the other students have.  It is quite insulting to perpetuate this scam and pretend to be the best with such double standards.  No way ![/quote]
Their business at Harvard is that Harvard wants them. Harvard is a private club. Harvard can have athletes if they want.
That’s how it works.
- person who is indifferent to athletes though happy to have my kids on team sports , if they want,  for health or camaraderie.
 Same for Amherst and Williams. They have super students and they pile up on athletes. Not everyone is brilliant. No one pretends they are. The school chooses. [b]They own the deck and deal you in if they want to[/b].[/quote]

Harvard is partly owned by taxpayers because it's partly funded by tax money.  If it wants to be a racist organization, I should be allowed to withhold funding if I want to.  [/quote]
