<p>as i said, i agree that it should get bigger, but its 2 completely different things… and like you just said, most USAMO qualifiers get into HYPS, then *** are they complaining for?
either way, yes USAMO is extremely qualified, and should be higher ranked than DII or DIII sports. and i honestly think they are ?? only the very top athletes get into the top schools, just like only the top math people get into the top schools 
although i think colleges feel that USAMO and good grades come hand in hand because they are both academic
then you said that academic people also make money for their school, and while that is true, i highly doubt that is even in comparable amounts to what the DI football players do… i mean, a research project probably takes at least 1 semester… but for some teams, football brings in like $20+ x 60,000 EVERY WEEK… do the math</p>
