Coaches at most colleges only have so many spots they can push for with the admissions office. It you're not a top 1-4 pick for them then you need the grades to get in.

On another note, some big football programs are going to conference only games (to help limit travel exposure) and have said even those could be in jeopardy depending on what is happening in their states. Some D3 conferences have bailed including NESCAC which are all small NE schools where case numbers are good right now.

Hope for the best but be realistic that fall may not happen anywhere.

Everything you said is correct except for the unfair part. It might seem "unfair" that another student is a great violinist, computer programmer, or swimmer with "average" grades (1400 SAT) but that's what elite colleges are looking for. Very good, but not necessarily crazy good grades/SATs, but with a skill that the crazy great student can't offer (such as kicking a ball). Each individual skill strengthens the overall student body.

Sorry, but if you were told by an Ivy coach that it was "unfair" it was his nice way of telling you that your daughter was not good enough to displace a crazy great student, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to find another better athlete that is.

I am not the op but several posts were speculating that more academically qualified students be accepted in sports ~within the context that ivies cancelled ALL sports this fall~. Again, it's about the ivies and their merit only system in sports which is brought in some posts.

The Ivies have more students of color represented than in the general population. Their student bodies average about 50% or so white vs 65% nationally. They give very generous financial aid grants enabling student's with family incomes of <$65K-$100K (depending on the school) to go for FREE. There is no merit aid, only financial aid. No athletic money either.

So your saying football contributes to the 30 billion dollar plus endowment fund, when you talk about Ivy League, it’s all academics, not sports. The money comes in from tuition, donations and hard work from the administration all the way down to the students.

The bulk of their endowments are from wealthy donors, with the funds accumulating hundreds of millions over the years with wise investing. Definitely not sports; in fact sports costs them money as it does at most schools that don't have big football or basketball programs. At best they might get a few televised games for football or UNC Basketball.

Wise investing....and tax exempt status helps

Will football return?

Will football return?

Initially, I think so but not the same. Too much money involved to cancel altogether. However, I think by Sept it shuts down and basically everything is in limbo again.
