Admissions and Sports - An Advantage Justified?

We've all heard that college admissions for athletes is a hot topic throughout the college application process.  I came across an interesting article today that explores the correlation between admissions and athletic talent.  While many believe that the hard work that students put into being successful at sports justifies a leg-up in the admissions game, some say that hard working and dedicated student-athletes should not be looked at differently.  I'd like to hear all of your opinions, as I know many people have different stances on the issue.

Have a happy new year and seniors, good luck with the applications!!!!
