I got a crazy high math SAT but couldn't do what came after it when it became about how to punch in formulas to a graphing calculator had to change my major when calc 1 at SU was a no go.  But I bet I would have been OK at calc in the 1970s when there were no fancy calculators.  Was weird tho I was an A math student and then barely got a C last year of HS because they'd give you a calculator cheat sheet and I'd always mess up the formulas and get everything wrong.

I don't know what to think of this.  The BB/FB student athletes I knew were all held to high standards and had to slog through their courses with the rest of us with little/no preferential treatment.  We have a tough school in general.  Standardized tests are kind of the only thing standard.  This might totally end college prep courses for athletes in certain HS like IMG if you drop minimum SATs.

I also don't think its a bad thing for a 16 year old young adult to have to prepare for a tough test like this.

But hey I'm someone who wholeheartedly supports higher education and the system we have in place and think SU has done a great job by its athletes even if they leave early they are part of the family and alumni base.  I want as little changes done as possible their degree is worth more than some cash.  I'm proud that we have never been like UNC.  SU is not supposed to be easy.
