[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really want to hear someone defend athletic recruiting to elite schools, considering how expensive and therefore exclusionary the travel, parental involvement and training required for a child to be recruitable are. [/quote] All the money in the world wont turn a slob into a college level wide receiver or shooting guard. Parents who think that it will are delusional. [/quote] Irrelevant. Millions of kids who have the character traits to succeed in college sports never get a chance to due to the expenses of participation and parental involvement. Everyone harps on about test prep, but test prep can be done alone, as millions of immigrant kids do every year. Sports cannot be played alone.[/quote] People harp about test prep because it indicates a false positive, so to speak. [/quote]
