While we're talking about affirmative action, legacy admissions, and college athletic scholarships, here's something that most US folks won't agree with (yet), but that is the only thing that makes sense:
College sports athletic scholarships should be abolished. All of them.
They do much more harm than good. They don't make college accessible for poorest athletes. They make it less accessible.
A scholarship is only worth ~$40K a year of tuition. But it prevents you from earning over $100K?
