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]

Free market? Ha ha. None of these schools would survive 10 mins without government funding.  [/quote]m

And universities don’t pay any real estate taxes on their massive land capital holdings [/quote]

For the same reason (govt funding) the fact they they can get away with legacy privilege in admissions is nearly criminal..[/quote]

Yeah...it's too bad there is a little thing called freedom of association under the First Amendment.[/quote]

A constitutional right to college admissions?  Okay, got it.[/quote]

You are so bitter. What the hell happened to you?! I think you are a student th at is probably brilliant and unfairly got shut out of an Ivy. You have to let this go. You sound so bitter. I really mean this that your time to shine will happen when it is the right time. Seriously let this go and go meditate or go for a walk on this beautiful day. I promise good things are coming but you have to let go of this stuff to make room for them. [/quote]
