Actually, I figured it out. Given that students must spend some of their
time on non-academic pursuits, MIT wants these pursuits to be moderately
productive. In other words, they want more students who spend their non-tooling
time in things like sports than students who spend their non-tooling time
writing long-winded emails to discussion lists and stalking people over
zephyr. If it is possible that the academic capabilities of the two groups
are roughly comperable, and I think that they probably are, of course they
want more athletes.
Damnit, there goes the promise that "even though I'm a student again, I
don't care about ANYTHING."
