<p>I believe all top 25 schools sponsor female rowing teams. Rowing is a vital (and romantic) part of the top 25 school collegiate ‘image’. Sorry, NSM, but speedskating is not a vital college sport, Olympic or otherwise.</p>
<p>I’m going to stick with ALL until proven otherwise. ;)</p>
<p>My son is a fencer and it hopefully will make an admission impact at the schools with the men’s varsity teams. Couple of days ago he received his admission package from one of these schools with a big green (yes, that obvious)
envelope to send his paperwork in. I doubt that all his “passion”, 20+ hours of training a week, and the results will make any difference whatsoever in let’s say Cornell that has only women’s varsity team.</p>
