[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone justifying the affirmative action for sports by saying the kids have to work so hard and spend so much time at their sport be at that level forget that kids in other activities and and interests spend just as  be much time as the athletes [b]but no one is reserving and setting aside spots for the advanced theatre kids, robotics kids, debate travelers[/b], the kids like me that played sports AND worked a job to pay for my sports equipment.

This is idiotic. Actually, they are. Along with kids who randomly play the tuba (or whatever) when they need a tuba player. They’re looking for well-balanced classes. Lots of my recruited-for-sports friends at Yale (women and men) are now very successful in things like banking and business since they tend to be more outgoing and great team players. [/quote]
Yale is not accepting an outstanding tuba player with a 1200 over a great tuba player with a 1500 simply because of the former's tuba skills, but they will accept an outstanding (recruit-worthy) athlete with a 1200 over a great (~varsity) athlete with a 1500 simply because of the former's athletic skills. That's clear proof of an unfair advantage for NCAA athletics over other sports and ECs like music.[/quote]

And you know this how? Through your many tuba-playing friends? [/quote]
