End athletic 'scholar'ships first. They have nothing to do with a university's core mission, and nothing to do with scholarship.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/07/opinion/sunday/end-legacy-college-admissions.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage …

This is delusional. Sports (for state schools) are the main source of advertisement and ‘prestige’. Maybe it’s more of a focus for Ivys (probably still mostly chasing down grants like Jack Lemon chasing leads in Glengarry Glen Ross)
So we've been told to think. I'd like to see some data on whether all this alleged 'prestige' brings any real benefits to these universities; so far, they refuse to give any credible numbers.
