[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s another story describing the phenomenon without the fabricating of The Atlantic article. https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2019/10/ivy-league-athletics-are-the-new-money-ball[/quote] This was a good article. Unfortunately because of problems with the Atlantic article, the whole issue of athletics as affirmative action for rich kids is going to get dismissed, but it's real. [/quote] I would say legacy admits are a bigger problem. At least the athletes have to be one of the best at something and worked hard for it. However, athletics does play a role in letting rich parents game the system. https://slate.com/business/2019/09/harvard-admissions-affirmative-action-white-students-legacy-athletes-donors.html[/quote]
