[quote=Anonymous]I'm not suggesting that they are dumb jocks. I just think it would be great for these colleges to place an equal premium on OTHER activities, such as acting, music, community service, etc. What would have happened to your sons if they had spent as much time focusing on community service as on their sports? For example, if they organized state-wide conferences on a particular issue, wrote editorials, got other students involved, etc.? Or if they developed a product, marketed it, and managed to sell it? Why should those students not get early admission nods like athletes? I have nothing against athletes, I just think our society (and our colleges) places inordinate value on sports.[/quote]
