[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous Consider this...you and others have said that this is about money - revenue. The school gets a higher profile, may get some revenue from the sport itself, alumni give more money and that increases the school's endowment. A bigger endowment means more financial aid for [u]all students[/u], more money to spend on academic programs, tuition stability and better facilities. Your argument focuses on the fairness to the individual student while the school has to consider what is best for the students collectively. BTW, I know many fine arts students who have gotten the same admission advantages that you claim athletes get. Personally, I think it depends on the school. Some schools have a big sports emphasis but a lot of schools don't. In fact, there is a top SLAC down south that just abolished sports. [/ Which school just abolished sports?[/quote]
