[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So BASIS doesn't have a football stadium.  I don't really have a problem with that.  Big whoop.  Schools aren't about athletics anyways, those are extras.  There's no athletics requirement in Title IX other than that IF schools provide athletics, it must be equal provisions for both genders.  From my experiences, I've seen that schools with those athletic fields, amenities and facilities typically revolve more around patronage jobs and crony contracts than they do around meeting students needs, there is example after example of that everywhere, including the big affluent suburban areas.  But either way, to each his own, try and balance those high school footbawl concussions, brain trauma and diminished cognitive ability against the prospect of a well honed mind going to MIT and becoming the next great engineer or scientist.[/quote]

By way of example, schools like Duke and Stanford face nearly insurmountable challenges recruiting class A scholars and athletes.  They have almost fallen apart proving how incompatible academic and athletic excellence are, right?  Exactly![/quote]
