Yes. Some parents want less competitive teams, slower play so their kids can play. Go look at the Bullis lacrosse thread, a parent is literally arguing against "merit" for a measure on who starts/plays.

If the school makes the decision to admit kids who don't meet their standards or have a stated policy of recruitment like the WCAC schools, then once those kids are admitted it should be based on merit. But too often, kids are admitted with favoritism and they are no better or even worse than the kids who went through the standard process. What is bearing out at the IAC schools is the headaches of recruiting 14 - 17 year olds is not worth the headaches it produces with regard to parent discontentment and the threat of lower donations.

If you go to one of these schools where sports recruiting is front and center and you have a kid who can play, you better realize up front he/she is not going to get the same opportunity to make the team or play as one of the kids who are given favorable admission. [/quote]
