[quote=Anonymous]Winning teams is just part of “athletic culture” at a school. Winning teams are frequently found at schools with a significant athletic culture, but they can be present when the school, the students and the alumni have little interest in Athletics when compared to other schools. (One or two winning teams don’t necessarily reflect a strong athletic culture.) In local schools with a stronger athletic culture, student and alumni interest is high, crowds at important games are large, athletes have “stature” at the school, coaching staffs are held to high expectations and Admissions gives significant weight to athletic talent particularly in the sports the school prioritizes. The Administration recognizes the importance sports has to the alumni and as a way to bind the whole enterprise together. [/quote]
