In response to gokinsmen
Of course, many college athletic teams are already made up of these kids already. Just like legacy admissions. Not too many places you can practice being on the sailing team, fencing team, rowing team, squash, etc, unless you either have the resources to have private instruction/travel teams or attend an expensive private school that has the facilities/teams which have these sports.
I think it really comes down to two things:
1) Player satisfaction. Are the players happy with their situation? Are they happy with their role on the team? Do they feel they can win a lot, get to March Madness and get NBA attention where they are?
2) Player financial need. Ivies will now be hesitant to offer recruits who may need the NIL payday. More than ever, teams really will be made up of "rich kids." Not just upper-middle class, but simply upper-class.
