[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges shouldn’t be giving athletes special treatment and easy admissions.[/quote] Sports should be treated as a valued extra-curricular that factors into the admissions equation, but in recent years this has become dramatically over-weighted. Coaches should have little to no say in the process. However, they have increased their involvement dramatically, which is understandable from their perspective because their livelihood depends on it. As much as some of these schools are playing at a seemingly very low level, if a coach has an awful record for several years in a row, they are likely to lose their job - if Bates volleyball or Skidmore softball win one game a year for 3-4 straight years, those coaches are likely done. So it is in their best interest to influence who gets in so they can have the best team possible.[/quote]
