I’ll share three anecdotes that directly address the issue. Over the past decade the Princeton fencing coach successfuly recruited three athletes from the state where my kids attended HS. I know each of these kids and their families.

Fencing is widely assumed to be a “rich man’s sport”.

All three students mentioned above attended public schools and all three qualified for substantial need based aid.

I don’t dispute the data in the posted article. I’m simply sharing these anecdotes to remind people that there are exceptions to even the most widely held assumptions.
