[quote=Anonymous]Is the above assertion true for our elite DC area private and independent schools? ...and our elite boarding schools where kids have to play a different sport each term and in many instances would have a difficult time playing one sport year round (in many instances are not permitted to do so) and these elite schools with much smaller student populations need to fill their boy and girl team rosters for all 3 seasons much like the Division 1 and 3 "Ivies". No wonder these schools (with these boutique sporting activities) remain feeder schools to Division 1 and 3 "Ivies" despite the fact that < 10 % of US students attend private (day and boarding) schools but make up > 50 % of Division 1 and 3 "Ivies". Sports are a big admissions' hook to the latter institutions. America's longstanding fascination with sports?[/quote]
