[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 523092, member: 2627"] I think that what frustrates some, like me, is when the ONLY way that our academics are referred to is with the term "limitations." There's clear, negative connotations to that. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone who does that so please don't take it that way. But for far too long the only way most people have talked about our academics is with respect to how much they limit us. And for a lot of athletes, and regular people as well, the academic rigors and environment at GT do present a limitation. But like you've indicated, for the right kids it's a challenge they can take on and conquer brilliantly while also succeeding on the field. For those kids, and we have to do a better job of identifying and reaching those kids, the idea that Geoff and his staff can go into their homes and say "hey, those other coaches who are telling you GT is so hard MUST have a very low opinion of you if they think you can't handle it. We know you can and the payoff is huge far beyond football. And we are also going to give you a great football opportunity! True, there's nowhere to hide at GT. But we know you're not the kind of person who wants to hide, anyway!" Or something like that. [/QUOTE]
