Many will disagree but the Ivies got it right. You are there for your education. They refused to grant additional eligibility. Although many "scholar athletes" left, the Ivies did not care. In the Ivy League. your education comes first everything else is secondary. Again, many will not agree.
The whole Yale roster dropped out to keep the season, so did Cornell, Brown too. Don't kid yourself.
You just proved his point. I guess reading comprehension was not a required course for you at Suffolk Community College.
You’re kid wasn’t getting in anyway dopey. No room on the Ivy roster for a knuckleheads kid.
Also no room on the roster for a straight A+ student-athlete, with aced boards–but not held back–whose family doesn't have the political savvy or the money to make donations over the years.
Oh, and for at least one Ivy...the expectation of doing a standing broad jump at the age of 16 is a minimum of 10 feet. Well, that's the weak excuse that will be used to let the player down easily...but everything else is great with the athlete's profile and the coach loves your son's play. Finally, the coach will seal the decision by saying your 100+ or 4.0+ GPA is only average. Fact!
