[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 811137, member: 4334"] Nothing like taking the extremes. I know lots of kids who went to or are GT now and not one of them had SAT tutors or what we would say are rich parents, etc. I’m in South Georgia where no one would claim a top tier high school is within 200 miles of here. They are just normal kids who didn‘t take the lazy route in high school academically. They set out on a goal as 9th graders to get in. The same way scholarship athletes work on their craft all thru high school. And in no way would these kids be admitted into a minor league system for athletics just like most athletes wouldn’t get into GT without their ability to entertain the masses. I’m not knocking athletes, but we all know what this system is all about - money. And the schools bring in the entertainers to make that money. And the percentage of players that make a living off a sport is minuscule as we all know. I don’t mind this system at all because it’s entertainment. But when the entertainment ends you better believe the schools won’t be admitting these players. How many boxers does GT bring in each year? None, because there is no money to be made off them.
