[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 543383, member: 2627"] Yeah I don't see you and most others as anti-Collins at all. I will say that the thing I appreciate most about Geoff Collins is that he doesn't look at GT like a factory school where the kids come to play football and have to go through the necessary evil of attending and passing classes. On the other hand he doesn't see any reason why the premium and, it's fair to say somewhat exclusive, education we have to offer should be a roadblock to recruiting high level athletes. That doesn't mean that every high level athlete would be right for GT even if they had the academic chops to handle it. But for the kids who have a desire to look out for life outside football (I am starting to realize that it doesn't have to be life AFTER football) and have interest in areas for which a GT education can help them prepare then it might be worth the effort to recruit them and try to convince them that it's worth all the hard work off the field.
