Basically, all the sports that D1 schools (and fans) don't care about.

Crew, not exactly a sport.

You mean all of the safety schools in D1?

Yeah, like all of the crappy schools like University of Michigan

Everyone knew what these kids sacrificed and achieved to get their spot and no one resented them. Today, al most every Ivy grad I meet through DC’s private school got there through athletics (lacrosse, hockey, etc) and NE boarding school or private school wealth.

Seeing this side has totally changed my perceptions of these schools. I truly venerated them as a young adult and now see them for what they are—mini corporations catering to wealthy white male donor egos. The rest of the world thinks this conflation of athletics and academics is a joke, as they should.
