[quote=Anonymous]I would say that in addition to all posted above, sports scholarship and/or admittance has often been an opportunity for or path to higher education for students from disenfranchised groups who may not have had access otherwise. I've always thought that it was a great that the US offers this type of opportunity as it is greatly lacking in other countries (e.g., I've lived in Latin America where college sports are not a thing so those pathways are nonexistent). While there is a serious conversation to be had about athletes sports-study balance and pay and how higher ed must improve that, an athlete can still walk away with a degree where s/he may not have been afforded the opportunity but for sports. I think sometimes the privileged class forgets this. [/quote]
