My son is a HS junior. We're in the middle of this right now. There is a strong likelihood that few colleges will actually require either test for admission for regular students in the next couple years. Why should student athletes be subject to requirements involving standardized testing that regular students aren't?“Student athletes”
Wait, are you actually saying the basketball players will have little to no hand holding for their coursework?Going to be more kids admitted who wouldn't pass the NCAA Clearinghouse with the abolition of the exams. That's not a good thing either especially if they were struggling with high school level work. The burden on them is going to be greater at the college level where there is little to no hand holding depending on who your instructor is.

Wish they were when I was in HS, its a sham, not a true indicator of intelligence, some people don't test well.A lot of schools, including mine are doing away with these tests as entrance criteria. Expect them to be history in the next 5 years anyways.

I was lazy in HS but tested really well, so those things put me over the top on college admissions. Different times though.Wish they were when I was in HS, its a sham, not a true indicator of intelligence, some people don't test well.
In general, I believe players have far greater access to assistance than general students. You may be right, but I'm hopeful the coaching staffs will stay on top of the kids, as you mention.I'm not making a generalization towards any specific program. I'm just saying, the kids who were already at risk are going to be even more so in an environment where they may not be able to cut it. If no one is on top of them to account for their shortcomings in the classroom, you run the risk of eligibility issues.
Because if you're rich you can pay someone to take them for you.Why are these tests bad?

I mean I did I barely broke 1000.Translation - *somebody* got a crappy score on their SAT’s.

If I remember correctly Zack Morris got 1502, Jessie Spano got 1205, and AC Slater got 1050. Not sure if that's helpful to anything.

Everybody, Briancuse is a dumb
I'm surprised you even got a positive score
It is not supposed to be an indicator of intelligence, but rather an predictor of the ability to succeed in college.Wish they were when I was in HS, its a sham, not a true indicator of intelligence, some people don't test well.
They never revealed Screechs score that always bothered me.If I remember correctly Zack Morris got 1502, Jessie Spano got 1205, and AC Slater got 1050. Not sure if that's helpful to anything.
