Are we ready still discussing this?

The reality is, recruited athletes get in with lower grades than the general population and the better athletes can get in with lower grades than the average recruits.

Leave Football and Basketball out of the discussion.

I doesn’t matter if we are talking Princeton, Stanford, Yale, Duke, Hopkins, Northwestern etc….
The Athletes get in with lower academic credentials.
Anyone who does not know this is simply ignorant.

Can’t leave those sports out, any school with either program is giving those athletes the admission preference. Not the lacrosse player.

You leave those sports out because they do not compare to Lacrosse or any other non-revenue sport. Lacrosse Players do get admissions preference but you can not compare college football or Basketball to lacrosse at ND, Michigan, Penn State, Virginia, Maryland, OSU, NorthCarolina, Syracuse, Villanova, Richmond, UMass, Delaware, Stony Brook, Army, Navy, Air Force, Princeton, Yale, Harvard or any other Ivy. College Football Programs carry 120 plus players on the roster and their budgets far exceed any lacrosse budget.

All recruited athletes get a tremendous boost in the Admissions office, even if football and men's basketball players get an even bigger boost.

No they don't get a tremendous boost UNLESS they are football or basketball players.
