Dear Editor,
My last letter about Division-I athletics contains an inaccurate statement. About 50 percent of recruited athletes are in the bottom third of their class. This is quite different from stating, as my letter did, that 50 percent of the bottom third are recruited athletes. Furthermore, these statistics are for schools with large Division-IA and Division-IAA sports programs. I apologize for the error.
