[QUOTE="Lee, post: 543426, member: 786"] Were you a D1 athlete? When you attend GT? What was your major? You make assumptions as if you recently “got out” of Scheller after playing 4 years of football. I didn’t play football here, but I did play one of the “big 3” less than 15 years ago. I feel you are way off base. My GPA was higher at GT than it was in HS. I can assure you I was not at GT for a degree when I showed up on campus either. My focus was to play at the next level. The business school is great, but it is not some dragon that can’t be slain. Yes, everyone has to take 2 lab sciences, 2 math courses, and CS. Those are no cake walks, but (at least when I was there) it didnt matter when you took them. I took CS my 2nd to last semester and my final EAS my last semester. So if a stud has NFL aspirations, he can put off some of those classes in the first 3 years. At that point, he will have a good idea if he has a legit shot at the next level or not. If so, he can always come back and take them after the NFL. If not, he will have a better mindset and understand the value of his degree and will most likely take the class more seriously at that point. Many have said it, all it takes is some effort. I do agree that there are some kids that would never get in nor make it here. I feel you are significantly underestimating how many could get in and stay in. [/QUOTE]
