Unfair? What do you mean? Since when is it less fair to get into a university on athletic merit? Or, conversely, since when has it become a universal maxim of fairness that it is more fair to let someone into a university based on academic merit than on athletic merit?
You are yet another person who assumes that academic merit should be the primary index for determining an applicant's worth. That is simple not the case. There are a number of ways to determine merit, and none are inherently fair or unfair. You might like one type of merit more than another, but that does not reflect anything except your personal biases.
