[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they're not just winning their conference, they're winning the entire D3 championship. Sure, Salve Regina, I guess, but also NYU, Tufts, U Chicago, JHU, Wash U, CMU, CWRU, Emory, Washington & Lee, CalTech, all the WASP schools, etc.

they are WINNING those championships.

MIT won't offer a likely letter like some D3 schools, but they'll do an academic pre-read. [/quote]

I don't understand why you are still arguing with me. I have actual, deep knowledge of the MIT athletic department, lack of recruiting process and admissions process.

You’re telling us that MIT admissions is 100% blind to athletic skill, the coaches do zero scouting and never talk to a high school student-athlete, and yet each team is filled by competent athletes, year after year, by complete and total coincidence.

Can you figure out why no one believes you?[/quote]

Did I say any of that? No.

To answer your questions (that you never asked): [b]Coaches don't do scouting, no. That's pointless at a school like MIT. [/b]

They do talk to athletes and they do put in their support for athletes depending on their skill. However, my coach that is a professor of 30+ years finds it super frustrating because very rarely does his support matter. By his own words, their academic profile matters way, way more than the athlete profile / support.

Any other questions that you didn't ask?[/quote]

The bolded is not true.  MIT holds camps for my kid's sport, which is one kind of scouting.  They also send coaches to tournaments, review film, reach out to athletes.  All of this is scouting.

I don't understand why you think scouting would be pointless.  Can you explain your thinking?  [/quote]
