[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. If your friend’s DD is academically qualified and someone who would be a good applicant at that school anyway, the school and student are making a good decision to lock in the relationship. Playing a sport at a level high enough to commit while maintaining grades, etc. deserves to be rewarded just as much as the kid who fiends 20 hours a week in the lab or practicing an instrument. Sports also enhance a school’s community and school spirit, so benefit all students.[/quote] Totaply agree! The athlete is providing more "value add" to the university.[/quote] Are they? I understand the argument for football and basketball, but once you start going down the list of sports do you even have fans? When you were in college, how many field hockey games did you attend? Did you go to any Tennis matches? Would who have cared at all if your school had a swimmer win an even at a division meet? [/quote]
