[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was actually on this very forum that I learned that admission, not a scholarship, was the long-range goal. The scholarship would be a bonus, sure. But the Harvard Crimson, in the wake of Operation Varsity Blues, did some research into how much easier it is to get in if you're on the coaches' radars, and it was staggering.

Not that it's new. I knew a kid who was nowhere near the top of his class in my high school who got into Princeton because he MIGHT make the basketball team. (He didn't.)

So parents aren't quite as stupid about this as we might all think. My advice, though, would be to take up rowing. Much surer bet. Or even better, equestrian -- because in the name of Title IX, colleges have to give scholarships to people rich enough to get horses for their kids. Go figure.[/quote]

I think it's different for every player/family...if there is 18 players on a team, there are 18 different priorities/factors for the next level, so trying to lump them all into one list is asinine. [/quote]

Agree but Mclean, Arlighton and Bethesda have 13 or 14 girls that fit the above on every team.  [/quote]
