...tennis are more likely to attract students who are interested in the long-term benefits of an Ivy League education. Other athletes need to be sold harder, he says: "Basketball, for instance, with few exceptions, is a game that the economically deprived now dominate. It springs from an inner-city situation. These are people that don't have the money for ice skates to play hockey, they don't often have someone to take a great deal of interest in them--they are less interested in being a scholar-athlete, they want the instant gratification playing right away...
Royce N. Flippin Jr., athletic director at Princeton, disagrees with Mackey. "The real key is not what sport it is, or whether it's Ivy League or not, it's the quality of the program. If the student thinks he or she can excel he'll come, hardnosed inner-city kid or not."

If you didn't learn it really well Brother Ignatius would say something like "Jesus Christ" loud enough to cause inner ear damage, and then remind you that although he was 58 years old he could still punt a football 65 yards. Sometimes he would demonstrate by kicking a solid oak desk half-way across the classroom, which was impressive enough that everyone would buckle down to derivatives. Brother Ignatius...
