[QUOTE="99jacket, post: 288973, member: 1994"] I believe the author makes some valid points about branding and choice of majors. However, he could not be more wrong about the admissions of athletes and their academics. They do not just arbitrarily wave requirements like the author makes it seem. And yes there are a lot of athletes we do not recruit because of academics. I don't care how much tutoring an athlete receives it doesn't make it possible for someone without the intellectual capability suddenly thrive in calculus or any other complicated subject. As a result we turn away a lot of prospects who the coaches and/or The Hill feel would not be successful. Yes I will admit that we grant waivers. However that is the exception not the rule. When they do grant waivers it is usually someone who has demonstrated capability but came up short because of a period of underperformance that later improved or they attended a school that failed to set them up for success.
