[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I handle that better than dumb athletes at T10/20/Ivies.

Those athletes bring in more money for the school than your "brilliant" Larlo with a 4.0 GPA and 1500+SAT.  Look at all the schools that most kids are flocking to these days.[/quote]

Women’s softball ?  Fencing? Cross country? And at Ivies. We are talking Ohio State football or Duke basketball. Sports at T10s/Ivies aren’t bringing in $. Big donors are though. [/quote]

Yes, even those sports. They may not bring in tons of money but they bring in other students.
 What about the kids who do have the ivy calibre stats but want to play their sport? You don't offer them, they go elsewhere. These colleges are competing with one another. Why do you think so many D3 schools give scholarships to athletes? Because they attract students who want to play their sport even if they're not the best of the best. Having those students attract other students to the school. [/quote]
