[QUOTE="Lee, post: 578402, member: 786"] You speak as with authority on the subject. Yet, as we have discussed in previous thread a while back, you never competed as a SA at GT. Go ask any 4 or 5 star athlete what their goal is after college. I will bet you almost anything that more than 99% will tell you to get to the NFL. These are the players we want at GT. This doesn’t mean we don’t want kids to take their education seriously, but it is by far number 2 at best on their list of desires when picking a school. Now when we were pulling kids away from Wofford and the like, you might be right. They may have chosen us for academics. I would still argue that they chose us to play at an ACC school over our academic prestige. We went back and forth on this a while back and I don’t really want to do it again, but I will say now what I said then. It’s not nearly as hard to “get out” of GT as an athlete as you like to insinuate that it is. It’s actually pretty easy if you put forth any effort. Which is why Collins says the “elite are excellent in everything they do” or STTE. Most of the top athletes know what it means to work hard. This will bode well when here. Athletes have first access to picking classes and know which professors are “player friendly” among many if the other benefits listed previously. I know this frustrates you and some others because you feel like it lessens your degree somehow, but it’s the truth. [/QUOTE]
