Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 2957699, member: 191"] Here's the deal on these non-revenue sports. The coaches get a certain number of recruits they can get into school who otherwise would not be admitted. They call admissions, give them the info, and they are in. I Iearned about this when my wife, son and I met with the Georgetown soccer coach. He gets 7 passes a year. He and the other coaches trade them, depending on recruiting needs each year. Found it fascinating. Essentially, athletes are viewed as bringing unique talents into the school to round out the school experience, like a musician or actor would bring. Those talents offset the academics. [/QUOTE]
