I’m not sure what the point of contention here is, or if the thread is even relevant/useful to the OP at this point, but I will log my own impressions of Reed’s sports culture: Reed doesn’t have representative sports teams, per se, except in a handful of sports (fencing, rowing, rugby, ultimate, basketball, and football/soccer are the only ones I’ve heard of). In each of those few sports it is entirely possible, and in fact more or less the norm, to join the college team with little to no prior experience. The level of sporting achievement/dedication is normally very low. The student body doesn’t care about sports or attend games.

There you go.
