[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 369771, member: 2426"] GT does admit athletes that probably wouldn't get in based solely on academic metrics. Those who are asked are held to the same academic standards as our students. When the school changed the policy to allow CPJ more exceptions, they said in effect that if the team's academics suffered, that they would restrict then again. In 2003, Vince Dooley pushed to get UGA to admit athletes with as low as a 400 on their SAT. Once a student gets into UGA, there are academic tracts they can be put into that will allow them to skate through even if they can't complete actual college level course work. At GT the are not. UGA does have good academic tracts, but they also have basket weaving type tracts. I don't think we are discussing the same things. I do know that some athletes are given preferential admissions treatment. However, I firmly believe that those athletes are treated the same by their professors as other students. If the coaches don't believe that the athletes can keep up with the academic work, they don't recruit them. Once the athletes are on campus, the school holds the athletic department responsible for the academic performance of those athletes. Those are the things that I am saying are different at GT.
