Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 3131552, member: 2585"] I hear you. I think it's tricky though. A truly academic institution wouldn't be reliant on money from sports on TV or pay their coaches more than their Presidents. It's out of whack. But the least we can do is allow the players who, in part, bring in that money a chance at a world class education. I think it's important to talk about the numbers too. How many questionably academic kids on campus vs academically eligible kids? Less than 1%? Truthfully, I got into Syracuse with less than stellar academics on the strength of my art portfolio. I doubled down on the opportunity and kicked butt in all my classes. High School me was 1000% different than college me - thank God I had a skill that was valuable to the University. [/QUOTE]
