<p>Well as an almost recruited (too short) Ivy athlete (yeah i was talking about myself in the last post, not a friend) I can say this: Check the football players majors. Nothing rigorous at all. Or maybe there is some hidden correlation between football and psychology...</p>
<p>Anyways, the advantage athletes have is in personality traits and social skills. Those are inherent to sports. But, at the same time, it isn't fair to the people who broke their tail (and don't feed me that crap about how athletes develop a different talent... I was captain of very good western PA team, I understand this) to get good grades and scores. And i'm not just bitter either. I was still recruited by some patriot league schools and some prestigous D3 colleges. I'm still critical of how athletes are treated there. Schools shouldn't lower academic standards for athletes.</p>
