> Most people wouldn’t argue against considering artists’ portfolios and musicians’ performances in admissions.

I would, unless it was an arts college.

The point is, schools are institutions with a purpose. For most of them, that purpose is education, not playing games. Therefore, being able to play games shouldn't have any relevance in whether you're admitted to those schools.



The presence of athletics at these institutions clearly demonstrates that it's part of their purpose, just as the sciences, humanities, and arts/music are.


Sure but we are talking about what the purpose should be not what it is.
