Yeah, I realize there's a lot of academics that hate athletics. But it's good for me if they let me know this up front, so we don't end up working together. I should mention though, they miss out on a lot of good people. On the men's track team, there were about 4 people who had 4.0's (which is very rare at a top 5 engineering school). One of these guys ended up doing some really amazing research in grad school. In fact, the whole track team average GPA was higher than the school average. If you can manage these grades plus 3 hours of practice each day, I would think that would be a positive trait. But to each their own I guess.
