With all the tools you have today I can't understand why this belief has legs.
Goggle the term "Athletic Admits " its real and exists in every Ivy. PBS dad a 2 hour documentary where several IVY presidents admitted it and said their goal was to have a well rounded student body not just academic grinders. That included athletes and below standard academic students.
If this was directed to me, then I would simply reply that the links you gave are from 2004, 5 years ago, and it is likely the documentary was reporting older studies and facts as well.
I'm reporting information that is 1 month old and is straight from the recruiter's mouths. Baseball can not be lumped with all ivy sports, and it is changing year to year. 5 years is a long time ago in their world.
