[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 237820, member: 216"] A good argument could be made that the academic context was worse for Tenuta's time. First, it directly coincided with academic probation from O'Leary's time - where athletes were played despite not being elligible (not signing up for the right classes and such). Thus, the academic reigns were tightened significantly on CCG's regime by the GT admin. IIUC, he got no academic exceptions in recruiting for a while, and then he only got two per class for the last few years. A second factor from that is that we had 5 or 6 less total scholarships per year due to the probabion. Then add in flunk-gate where we lost a crazy number of players - really major players on both sides of the ball. This further tightened the screws on our academics for football. I don't think APR has had much of an effect on the situation we were already in. CPJ and company have done a great job in succeeding in the APR's measurement. So much so, that for the last few years, he has had no restrictions on the number of exceptions he can take in recruiting. Now, as he would say, that doesn't really help all that much because you still have to recruit guys who can handle GT's academics. Point being, it's far from certain that Roof has had a worse academic context than Tenuta had, as far as being able to get and maintain talent for their defense. [/QUOTE]
