Yawn.
Tiger Woods is arguably the GOAT in golf. He had an astounding Junior career and was recruited for golf. And he’s Black.
An athletic recruit who is also a URM gets admitted. Which part surprises you?
Tiger did not take anyone’s spot other than other male golfers. The spots reserved for athletes are not spots that the gen pop compete for.
And he was an econ major but left Stanford to turn pro.
And it was the Los Angeles Times, not the Tribune
Whether there should be preferential admissions is a larger question.
