[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 874977, member: 4334"] Because if they weren’t football players they would never been able to get into GT and take the spot of a non-charade student. My point is all this is a charade. Instead of having every student get accepted on academic merits and then picking 85 to create the team we play the same game UGA plays which is lowering the bar for this special group. The problem is we pretend (like some of the previous posts) that we don’t. You even said that there are players who get into other schools that wouldn’t get in here. Why the heck not? If we are going to lower the bar to start then do it right and take anyone who is good at football. Right now we bring in players who take spots from kids with 1400s yet we have become mediocre and have been a long time. If we are going to do it then do it freaking right and not halfway. Think of all the stud football players from the Atlanta area we could have won with if we didn’t do it half way. And the idea that just because they attend classes and get degrees means it’s fair is ridiculous. All the students who were denied entrance in order to lower the bar also could have attended classes and got degrees. I just would have thought GT fans were smart enough to see a scam system. The entire system is bring in players to your school to entertain the alum and bring in money. It has nothing to do with helping the player or anything. It’s money. Are we happy with this as alum? Are we being entertained? We are a perfect case study of a school doing it all wrong. We should either let in any player (Cam’s, Herschel’s, etc) or join the Ivy League. Playing the middle has led us nowhere but down. [/QUOTE]
