The Washington Post interviewed CMC President Hiram Chodosh about the role sports play in admissions to the nation’s most prestigious private colleges and universities.

Chodosh said that CMC, a Division III college, aspires to be “the go-to college for the scholar-leader-athlete.”

He acknowledged a concern, however, about all the money that affluent parents pour into athletic trainers, traveling clubs, sports camps and other activities—separate from high school sports teams—that give their children an edge in the recruiting chase.

Too often, he said, wealth and privilege determine “who becomes a competitive athlete in a world where we have structured sport and play to an extreme.” Those disparities, he continued, pose a challenge for the country and for colleges that want to level the playing field. “We have a lot more work to do there.”
