I think my issue is the signal it sends to other students and alumni because I don’t assume it is available to the rest of the student population, although it should be, even if in the form of tuition relief. If as stated earlier in this thread, the “payment” for playing is the education, (I’m on board with this school of thought and often yelled it at my roommates) and by paying for performance in the classroom, you are devaluing that very education. It is now somehow worth less and that compensation loss needs to be made up for with additional cash. I would think it devalues the product and may impact ranking and enrollment at the extreme end of the spectrum. Ivy’s offer a large percentage of free education based on classroom merit. They also have an expectation that graduates make donations and industry networking to bolster the school endowment and value of that membership. People are knocking down their doors to gain access to that, and it’s awarded on academic promise. Ivys don’t offer athletic scholarships. Ivys will not devalue their education and it’s related alumni network.
