[quote=Anonymous]One thing seems certain from these discussions: the benefits from playing a "boutique" sport is the "Ivy" college admission "bump" (hook) plus or minus enhanced financial aid. Sure sounds like a "win-win" outcome even the average athlete may benefit from. This "hook" is specific to only certain "categories" of schools. Categories of "ivy" colleges pursued by the rich, the private, the ambitious, and those pursuing the life-long alumni networks. This preferential admission "bump"/hook is "affirmative action" for a longstanding admission stream of particular students to these"ivy" universities and colleges.[/quote]
