The tennis player does not attract money for the school. That was his point. The only sports that operate at a profit are football and basketball (and only at the big schools). His point was that if two people have a special gift that doesn't relate to academics and doesn't make money for the school, they should be treated the same. Why doesn't this happen? Its a perfectly good question with no good answer.
@mavaddat thats why I go to a research university with little to no sports teams. The tuition is a little higher than I'd like but i'm there for education, first and foremost. I don't want to go to a school that wastes hundreds of scholarships on people who aren't even there to study. Disgusting
I enjoy Frank Deford's columns a great deal. He calls it like it is.

It's quite simple: The tennis player attracts money for the school, the pianist does not.
Universities are, as a matter of fact, first and foremost money-making ventures. It's a shame, but it's true.
This is not a justification, only an explanation of the obvious.
