[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 494280, member: 435"] The article clearly states how the BOR has used academics throughout the years to prevent Tech from taking measures that would help Tech athletics. It began with the stealing of the School of Commerce, and it continues with the BOR's continued oversight over the number and scope of Tech fields of studies. Yes, we have more liberal arts majors now, but we still do not have the kinds of majors that non-engineering schools have. They claim that it would affect our integrity, but it sure hasn't affected or harmed the integrity of schools like Stanford, which has tons of "easy" majors, in addition to their highly respected ones. It is the BOR, not the Hill, which prevents Tech from dropping the calculus requirement for ALL students, jocks or not. Although the lack of "easy" majors was a problem under Ross, O'Leary, and even Gailey, they did not have the APR restrictions which Tech has now. Obviously, the BOR has nothing to do with that requirement per se, but by not allowing "easy" majors, and by not allowing the removal of calculus as a required course, they have pretty much insured that Tech athletes have to do better than athletes at other schools do in an overall sense ... for example the University (sic) of Georgia. Johnson's record since Lewis may be "the worst," but none of the other coaches since Lewis have taken us to even one Orange Bowl, much less two, and Gailey with Calvin Johnson on the team couldn't even beat Georgia or win an ACC championship. And no Gailey team ever finished 8th in the country either, which Johnson's team did in 2014. [/QUOTE]
