[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this thread is infuriating- why do these colleges even have sports - just takes seats away from the kids who deserve them and allows the 6’4” private school doof a path to dartmouth - so unfair for the kids who actually deserve admittance [/quote] Just a few notes about Harvard's student body. About 20% of the class are on a varsity team, most of the athletes are recruited athletes. The median family income for recruited athletes is about $250,000, 20% of them come from families making more than $500K. 83% of the athletes are white (compared to 41% of the student body). That might give you some idea why there are so many recruited athletes for country club sports that nobody watches.[/quote]
