<p>I don’t really have an issue with athlete admits because they completely earned their entrance not through anything outside of their control. There is an issue of having grossly underqualified athletic admits out there at top sports programs, but in my mind they aren’t worth getting as worked up over as legacies, URM’s, big-name admits (hey Bush, hey Trump), and kids whose parents donated a lot of money (hi Ross). The athlete “hook” at least has to be earned, unlike the others in which one is born into.</p>
