School rankings are very important to attracting high quality applicants. Schools pay attention to the rankings not because they like them but because they have to. Since the whole point should be education, the goal, especially for the PL, is to attract top students. In turn, they try to attract top students who are also top athletes. What's desired is athletes that are representative of the student body as a whole and who can compete in the classroom as well as in sports. Personally, what I want in the PL are top studnets who are top athletes but put education first. They are not mutually exclusive. Such students are just hard to find and the competition to get them to enroll is intense.
