[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 875085, member: 4334"] Different situations. Requiring students who apply thru regular admission to conduct more academic work and then accepting them based on this academic work is much different than telling a kid with a NCAA minimum score to come on in because they entertain the alumni 12 Saturdays a year. That’s my point - we all know it’s a joke and yet many spend energy trying to defend and justify it and say GT players are different. I use to defend it too. I’ve said this before but my eyes were opened when I was a GT student and had several management classes with many members of the lethal weapon three Final Four team. I loved screaming for them but they were in no way even in the same ballpark as regular students. And I’m totally advocating for letting them all in. I want to win so if we make exceptions can we at least get in a Cam Newton type QB and some Herschel’s? In other words play the game the right way and not this half way crap we’ve been doing. All this half way stuff has gotten us into the lower quarter of P5 teams and when realignment happens and we are left out we’ll have no one to blame but ourselves. Right now, a top tier hoops player just set his price. Why don’t we go get him and win some games? Instead, we’ll say how terrible it is. Lastly, regarding the conditional transfer being easier, the entire admission process for the high end kids is just random. At my kids private schools I’ve seen kids with lower SAT and GPA get accepted into GT over kids with higher and I’ve seen these higher kids get the transfer offer. It’s another crazy topic to discuss. [/QUOTE]
