[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 224766, member: 77"] Comparing success in football to that in golf or baseball is not a fair comparison, imo. For one, golf is a completely different type of athlete that comes from a completely different background that most elite football players. College golfers are closer to the student norm as well. Just look at APR statistics for golf compared to football. Baseball is different, too, but for a different reason. Pro baseball has a farm system to develop players that have no interest in college. Therefore you get closer to the true meaning of Student Athlete with baseball players. We can all agree the the term Student Athlete has no business in college football outside a very small subset of teams which includes GT. Point being, the task of acquiring blue chip athletes is a much more daunting task in football than it is for either golf or baseball for the reasons stated above. [/QUOTE]
