Never ever would I want my kid at Baylor. Don't like how she treated Griner being gay and she is out coached by far less talent. Muffet is good not great and I think you are dead on about Staley they don't normally impress me no matter what their rank

Conceptually I agree with you put my recent experience tells me otherwise. What I think you and most people tend to severely underestimate is the is the amount of time and commitment that it takes to be a member of a top ten WBB program. This often all encompassing commitment leaves little time to interact with the rest of student body. A WBB player at UCONN or any other top 10 program talking to a non-athlete is of little practical value because the student experiences are so vastly different. It is different right from the beginning with the scheduling of classes. While Non-athletes jockey to get their favorite (sometime easy) professors a scholarship athlete classes are largely selected so as to not conflict with practices & games.
I agree with you, Coco. As someone who has taught many athletes (at least one of whom is currently playing professionally), I see this all the time. They even sit together (and often away from other students) in class. But I do believe that athletes need to have the opportunity for those interactions and they do exist--though certainly not to the extent as happens in the general student population.
