Thanks, CI! Meat judging certainly seems like a useful set of skills, and competition seems like a good idea to hone those skills for the competitive industry those folks will enter.Â
But how and why is this a sport? There are plenty of competitive intercollegiate activities that are not sports--I'm thinking of debate, speech, mock trial, robotics competitions, etc. I would find it jarring to see any of those activities listed under "sports" on an athletic department website, too. Is there an athletic component to meat judging that I'm somehow missing?Â
