Just a thought to ponder and I agree academics are number #1. Let's say you have a child that is athletic and you have a choose of schools, where do you go. Simple the one with the best program /coach. Not everyone has this choose... Now I am reaching here, but let's say my child is pretty good and may have further potential (don't all parents think this) and they get stuck in a loosing program / and have poor coach; now your really in a pickle? I vote freedom of choose...
