[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 475817, member: 2426"] The AJC article is gone now, but there was a blog post about it on FTRS: [URL]https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/2014/3/12/5500068/georgia-tech-to-allow-more-academic-exceptions-for-football[/URL] Unless things have changed since then the limitations on exceptions was removed in 2014. I didn't read the blog post, but in the original AJC story it said: [LIST] [*]Because of the high APR, the school was going to remove the limitations on exceptions. [*]The football staff was responsible for ensuring that the football players keep up with classes and grades. [*]If the academic success of the football players declined, the limitations could be revisited. [/LIST] So I don't see that one as something Peterson or "the hill" is doing to limit the football team. BTW: Race doesn't really have anything to do with intelligence or knowledge. A prima-donna attitude could keep a kid from trying hard in school and a good athlete could have enablers in school that let him slide through. Socioeconomic status can result in a student attending a sub-par school, which could cause their readiness for college to be lower than kids in a higher economic class. [/QUOTE]
