[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if some of these stories about idiot athletes at Ivies are representative. The year my kid started Columbia, the athletic recruits at the welcome session were from TJ and the Blair magnet.[/quote] I read a book on getting into the Ivy League and some of the rich kid sport (tennis, crew, lacrosse) athletes disclosed they had laughably low stats. And if you know any Ivy students, a constant theme on campus is real students vs athletes. Everyone knows most of the athletes are idiots, comparatively speaking.[/quote] Don't forget fencing, another rich kid sport. I do know an Ivy kid (my own) and I disagree that the athletes are universally seen as dumb. Fratty maybe, misogynistic or even racist in some cases, but not idiots.[/quote]
