WHAT?!! Now you're moving the goal post and just trying to backtrack and throwing in extraneous other things that has NOTHING to do with our original discussion.
Why in the world would you even make it a point to say:
GT is the only STEM school that fields a FBS football team.
*I loosely define STEM school as one that has at least 60% of its degrees granted annually in STEM fields.
Nobody else that fits that profile plays big boy football. Why not? If this does not put our recruiting difficulties into nutshell perspective, nothing does.
It's not just getting in and getting out..... academics. It's the whole ball of wax that comes with being a STEM school. Everything.
Then turn around and say "That's what I'm talking about, not what each kid is majoring in."
So now you're contradicting your point? So at first you want to qualify GT as the "only STEM school" in the FBS (which is factualy false in the first place) because (in your very own words) "I loosely define STEM school as one that has at least 60% of its degrees granted annually in STEM fields.", but now you're saying (again, in your very own words) "what each kid is majoring in" doesn't matter?
OK, buddy...can't talk to a person if he can't even keep his point straight. I'm finished here.
FWIW, I think @dressedcheeseside clarified what his point had been all along, that being a STEM school was shorthand for all our recruiting difficulties. It seems to me that yall were just talking past each other. That the point he was trying to make was not the point that you were arguing against does not mean that he's contradicting himself. It means that there was an earlier misunderstanding.
