such as having several players on team who did not have any high school basketball experience.

This reminds me of my sister who played for a semester on University College of London’s basketball team when she was doing a study abroad. She did have 2 years of high school basketball experience though, so wasn’t a raw beginner. She got plenty of playing time, and the team won a few games. She remembers it as a great experience, and made friends with players from across the league. A shared cigarette after the game was a common occurrence.

But anyway, athletes at elite British universities get no admissions bump. How these universities manage to admit so many students with skills in teamwork and leadership without favoring athletes remains a mystery to Americans…
