[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former collegiate athletes are more likely to donate than non-athletes. Many would-be employers prefer to hire collegiate athletes; having a heavy “roster” of them on campus improves post-graduation hiring numbers. Some schools need male sports to mitigate what would be a heavily skewed student body, sex wise. Many applicants view collegiate sports as part of the overall college experience and favor schools that offer them. Some households will pay a higher tuition if it means an opportunity to play collegiate sports. [/quote] By this rationale, 35% athletes at Williams and Amherst is not nearly enough. These are top schools. Why not make it 60%? Or 70%, even? They can start out on JV teams, just like high school — but, of course, even if they are not officially NESCAC athletes until they are on varsity, nothing stops the school from giving them the same fist on the scale for admissions.
