Message: [QUOTE="cuseinchina, post: 1052607, member: 3079"] I think some of this exists at every school with big time sports. My sister is finishing up her phd at UT Austin and she says the majority of the academics she knows are disdainful towards the sports and the amount of power that goes to athletics. obviously UT is very different from Syracuse - but you gotta remember, probably more than 50% of these guys are people who were not good at sports, they were good at getting A's on exams. many of them simply don't respect that part of the college experience because for them it wasn't part of it. Which is not to say there aren't a bunch of cool professors who are really into it just that there is a big group who is not. [/QUOTE]
