<p>One thing I do know, athletes bring diversity to a campus just like minorities, musicians, and brainiacs, etc. This makes the campus interesting. The athletes provide a form of entertainment. All you have to do is go to a sporting event and you will see the stadium filled with students cheering their team on. Let’s face it the sat is a test to indicate whether a student can handle the work at a particular university. Once a student scores 1900 or higher he/she is capable of doing the work. The only reason everybody is hung up on the sat is because usnwr uses the sat as a determining factor in publishing the best schools. If they dropped that indicator and the schools did not post this information it would be a non issue. </p>
<p>In the US we place value on many attributes and athletic ability is one of them.</p>
