CPJ Comments on Contract Extension

[g0lftime]

The DWAG fans are feeling frisky right now. They like the coaching change and they have been doing very well recruiting. They are on a sugar high right now. They have always had delusions of grandeur.

For goodness sakes, you would think this contract came out of the blue. It has been in the works for months. Get a grip people...

BTW, if someone believes that a higher winning percentage is better than a higher graduation rate then I suggest you check out the "school" over in Clarke County. They obviously feel the same way and would accommodate your wishes.

To me it’s highly suspect when a graduation rate for under qualified football players is higher than that of the student body.

Not to me. These guys have to be on track to graduate or they’re ineligible. What I don’t understand is how the dwags is so low.

So you are doubting the veracity of those claims? You really think Georgia Tech would award degrees to S/As just to make our football coach look good?

You are absolutely on things operate then

Fwiw, graduation success rate also tracks students through transfer.

A high graduation is great and looks amazing for the school, but Have y’all ever hung around college athletes? I know some former uga and tech players. It’s not hard to graduate when you have all the test banks.

You do not know how things operate then.

You literally have a road map of:
what course to take?
What professor to take?
Very good tutors
A select few classmate that are in awe of athletes that would go the extra mile just to say they hung out with you.

If you can give an ounce of effort, “Getting Out” is not difficult

Every class is not lot like that and who you think those test come from? Biggest lesson I learned at was every athlete is not a dummy and every “reg” is not smart, they just know how to finagle the system VERY well

the fact is if GT & it’s fans are satisfied with a a bit above mediocre football program I have to be fine with that as a fan or make my fandom elsewhere.

Passive aggressive much?

Hope you say the same thing about frat boys

 

[grandpa jacket]

I would probably say that it is 50-50, but 90% is just hyperbole.

I think it is around 50-50 but, when you dont have half the fan base you are on a short string

 

[Ibeeballin]

Answer to my question btw

AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN !!!!!

Where do you find that? The report shows football rate is 82% and NCES overall rate is 86%.

 

[ilovetheoption]

So I know I went to a poor undergraduate school, but I went to a pretty good grad school, and the truth was the same at both places, if you put in the hours studying, and you do the assignments, and you can deal with the grind, college is pretty easy.

The reason that athletes graduate, is that got a system that forces them to do the studying and put in the grind and finish the assignments and whatnot.

They don't cut class, they don't skip assignments, they study everyday, and when you do that, it's just not that hard to get good grades.

Athlete graduation rates have very little to do with test Banks, and almost everything to do with mandatory attendance at study hall.

The majority of social fraternities do not have tests banks. They also do not have free personal tutors that have already taken the classes. Fraternities, also don’t have anybody monitoring their individual grades and forcing them to go to class (when on campus).Our basketball team is literally gone half the spring semester, do frat boys get take their schoolwork on the road and get helped by tutors. I could go on and on

 

[Milwaukee]

Yes they do

They also do not have free personal tutors that have already taken the classes.

Yes they do, a house full of them actually

Fraternities, also don’t have anybody monitoring their individual grades and forcing them to go to class

Some do

I went to Tech for both undergraduate and graduate degrees and I did all that you listed, and I got very good grades, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT EASY !!!

The tests come from the previous 80 football players that have already taken the courses. They take their old tests and make a test bank.
