Being a student athelete usually requires talent and is not an immutable characteristic. Duh.

At least they can catch up on their sleep in class.

I don’t believe anyone should be accepted on the basis of athletics. It should be solely based on academic achievement and test scores.
Colleges weren’t built so athletes can play sports. If they can get accepted as every other student (academics), I am okay if they play sports. Sports has become a way of dumbing down our academic institutions.
Maybe some of these potential athletes would focus more on academics if they knew they had to succeed academically if they wanted to play college sports. We’d all be better off it the long-run if they did.
And, no, I don’t agree with Moosechelle that we need to accept based on DEI.
Right? Athletic scholarships are the exact opposite of Affirmative Action. No doubt The First Wookie was accepted to fill an AA quota.
It means they let people in who don’t qualify academically for reasons other than academic ability.
In other words she’s calling DEI admits too stupid to get in on their own.
She’s debunking her own narrative without realizing it.
