I found the article interesting as its a dimension of the student body at many NESCAC/Ivy schools that unless you are an athlete you can miss. When I was a student at Wes in the 1980s I confess that over 4 years I may have attended a football game maybe once, if that. I do not remember really watching any of the sports teams at all. Now that I am an Alum I actually tune in sometimes on NSNsports and do watch a game here or there… not sure why but it does make me proud to see them win a game, whether its soccer or football. I think having a talent for sports should be viewed as similar to having a talent for music or art, and if you can admit an amazing artist and overlook low SAT scores, then why not a talented white male athlete too? The diversity scope is big enough for all.
