when it comes to colleges like mit and the like these kids arent there so much to get an education as they are to be drafted. they can get the same education at their state colleges, but they wont have the level of competition with their peers which is what theyre seeking out. the pressure cooker you speak of isnt created by staff, but by the students themselves. and if you were a major league baseball team and you could only recruit a select few players for each season, are you going to go for the most consistent players or will you take a chance on the player who may or may not be able to play on the hamstring he tore last season?
