Correct. Also, Good kids get a lot of playing time and great education.
Look at Amherst, Middlebury, MIT... all amazing schools which have lax programs. Why would anyone think their little Johnny superstar needs to go to DUKE and sit the bench? [/quote]

I always find this argument to be silly, most kids that go to Duke are not going to "sit on the bench" they are going to Duke to play, they may wind up sitting on the bench but in most cases they thought they would play, they were the stars of their HS teams and the best players on their club and all star teams. these are 18 year old stud athletes and great students who have all the confidence in the world that they will be on the field memorial day weekend. Last I heard Duke and Tufts both can only play 10 players at a time and Duke has a 42 player roster while Tufts has a 51 player roster so in fact more kids are going to Tufts to sit on the bench then are going to Duke to sit on the bench. I would be very happy sending my kid to either one.
