[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 578429, member: 265"] True, I never played football at Tech. I'm also sure you're right about the 4 - 5 star athletes. But the majority of our players will always be the three star types and education is very important to them and their parents. The post is mostly about parental expectations and everybody - including you - is making out that it's about the athletes. Even the 4 and 5 star kids have parents who want a secure future for them. A Tech education can give them that. I'm also sure you are right about getting out of Tech as an athlete. This is the way it is at most schools today for most students. But Tech also recruits athletes who are a cut above what the factories will take - shoot, even a lot of the non-factories as well. Those are the ones we can get into the place. It's hard to parse out who's right given that situation: are the athletes getting through because the school is easier on them or is it because they had to be better students to get in? Search me, but I'd go with the latter. Btw, this has nothing to do with "lessening my degree"; I never went to Tech and I'd never gage my education by what any school does with its athletes anyhow. I've been a fan since the Dodd days, however, and this kind of stuff has been controversial since then. Well, enough for me in this thread. [/QUOTE]
