Okay, I'm really confused about sports and admissions

<p>A good case study of “commitment does not equal acceptance” is Frank Ben-Eze. Ben-Eze, one of the top dozen or so HS basketball centers in the country had made a lot of headlines last fall by deciding to commit to Harvard over offers from such schools as Marquette and U.Va. He was reported to have been the most talented recruit ever attracted to the Ivy League, but never did make the minimum Ivy League qualifying SAT score. When it became apparent this spring that he would not be admitted at Harvard, he withdrew his verbal commitment and signed with Davidson.</p>
