[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The academics vs sports debate is not something you can compare.  Bring the smartest kid has nothing to do with talent.  Anyone can be a tip scholar, not everyone can be a tip athlete and a top scholar.

Colleges, employers  know toots and seek them our.

Many of the academic types who go to debate clubs. Chess clubs, writing camps etc spend just ad much time and money at those activities as do athletes.  The difference. Being one dementional vs two dimensional.

My daughter's club teams, every single player is a top tier student whip will get money for school for academics before sport's.

A recent graduate at Harvard played soccer at good council, a recent graduate of bcc played soccer at stanford, she took the academic scholarship instead of the sports one so the team could give the sports scholarship to another player.  A local volleyball player is enrolling st Harvard this fall.  Read the local commitments, it is pretty impressive

Sure many kids enroll at those schools but it is a lot easier if that is your dole focus.

I would take an athlete who is committed to their academics and sport over the top ranked non athlete 100% of the time. [/quote]

Stanford doesn’t give academic scholarships [/quote]
