OK, but let’s be clear that the kind of affirmative action you are defining here is done completely for the benefit of the university, who wants the best players for its teams which will generate money for the university. All athletes get preferential admissions status, which means that a star athlete with a 500 (or less) SAT avg. and shaky academic transcript will often be accepted when a student with a 600 SAT person with a solid academic record will not get into that college.
Granted that the 600 who does not get in, will not be in one of the Affirmative Action groups, but then if he/she is the descendant of a wealth alumni…bingo!
