[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? Are any of the IAC schools considered a powerhouse in any sport except Lacrosse?  [/quote]
No. So why all the protest about STA being "first rate" in sports.[/quote]

Nobody is comparing St. Albans athletics to Dematha, but they also are not comparing Denatha academics to those at St. Albans. It's like the Ivy League -- excellent mix of academics and strong athletics.  It doesn't mean that Harvard athletics are a joke because they don't play SEC football or top level basketball.  St. Albans certainly sends more kids on to at college sports than my well regarded public school even though my school was much bigger.  I would say generally the IAC offers first-rate athletics when you include the breadth of sports options and the number of grads who play a sport in college, whatever the division.

Even Harvard does not describe their Athletic department as "first rate".

Also, check out the latest list of Rhodes scholars, many don't even play a sport for college. It is too bad... Sit all day, then eat, then sit and study, memorize, regurgitate information, go to bed,, wake up, do it again.

Obesity, diabetes, cancer, all in our kids future.[/quote]
