[QUOTE="Techster, post: 196973, member: 360"] My premise is fine. In fact, my premise is so solid it undermines your point...that's why you're avoiding the answer to my question. Your logic in beating the "GT IS STEM SCHOOL! GT IS A STEM SCHOOL!" drum falls apart when the fact that less than 15% (And I'm probably being generous here) of our scholarship SAs on the football team are NOT STEM majors. If you want to say our athletes take a more rigorous academic course load than the average SA at other schools, you would have no arguments. No one is refuting that. No one is refuting that academics at GT makes it harder for us versus the typical FBS school. However, the problem with your "point" lies in the fact you're incorrectly trying to use one fact (the majority of degrees awarded at GT is STEM related) to support your "point", when another fact (the VAST majority of our scholarship SAs are non-STEM majors) undermines to your point. That's pretty much the rebuttal anytime someone wants to bring up the "Stanford Defense" (not that I'm trying to bring it up again). FACT: The majority of degrees awarded by Stanford is STEM related. (Even you can't refute that) FACT: The majority of scholarship SAs on Stanford's football team do not major in STEM fields. Isn't that the gist of how everyone beats down posters who say "Yeah, but Stanford can do it, why can't GT?!" "Well, Stanford football players can hide is easier majors!" Um, that's kinda what GT is doing with majority of our SAs majoring in Business and Liberal arts and as opposed to STEM related majors. You're being wishy washy with facts. Can't have it both ways my friend. [/QUOTE]
