whether the "verbal gets pulled" or not, many of these schools have really high standards for non-cash generating club-type sports. the Ivies most notably- tough with the transcripts and the AI must clear a certain level. Stanford and Duke other examples I hear, no first hand knowledge with either.
very treacherous for 2020's I imagine- some thinking the will sail into Harvard bc the coach likes them on the field, but could end up shut out when their 3.2 gets neg'd.
