[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 806663, member: 1199"] I am not so sure. If Alabama knows that they are attracting more high achieving students and foundation donations because of the football team's success, why wouldn't they be more forgiving of marginally qualified star football player's weaknesses than they would some other random applicant? This doesn't require much of a stretch. As you stated, those 25 football player admissions represent a tiny portion of the almost 10,000 annual admissions. Their 2020 freshman class included 42.3% with a 4.0 GPA in high school. I am not going to argue that football has made Bama a top academic school, but it has made it significantly better. [/QUOTE]
