[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 873075, member: 4334"] This is just flat out wrong. This isn’t the old days. College football players are the most pampered group of students on every campus. From automatic acceptance to everything paid for to free tutors and the best dorms and food on campus. I know several players who played for GT recently. None of them traveled a tougher road than the average student. What made it tough for them is that educationally they never should have been on campus. But their athletic ability earned them the magic pass into GT. They didn’t have to work 1 or 2 jobs because they had everything paid for. Sure, they had long hours with workouts and school work but every student has that issue. I appreciate every student at GT but to say football players traveled a tougher road is just laughable. You have high school kids getting turned down by GT who have dedicated their lives to high GPA’s and high test scores. These are the kids who travel a tough road. Being dropped off on a campus hundreds or thousands of miles from home, not knowing a soul, with very little support - that’s a tough road which is why GT students kick butt upon graduation. [/QUOTE]
