Melinda. I think your daughters numbers are pretty far off. I can't right now tell you how many ice cadets there are, but basic math says 58% is way off base. There are 27 ic sports at the academy. Football has the most players. They don't keep all of them, but let's say they had 80 players. If ALL 27 sports had 80 players, that would be 2160 athletes. That would be right at 50% of the student body. Now, do you think basketball, soccer, track, and all those sports have 80 ic athletes each? Even if each only had 40 athletes, that would be around 25%. I think the last time I checked, it was between 20-25% of the student body that were also ic athletes.
Actually, if the majority of cadets were ic, I don't think there's be the tzo gap or a need to change policies. Athletes would be the majority.
