[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 37181, member: 56"] Squints, Although my first statement was in response to a statement you made, I didn't mean my comments to single you out. I just find it frustrating that so many Tech alums have come to accept the "this is the way Tech is, we'll never change" argument. dressedcheeseside, I realize the coach gets a few exceptions each year. However, the problem is that he has a finite number of them and, more importantly, admissions gets to decide who those are. I'm saying, "let the coach decide to get whomever he wants admitted to play football". Because if they fail out, he will be the one most directly affected. So let's set up the coach's contract to give him authority, but also responsibility and reward/punishment to insure he is doing his job properly". But here's the single most important point I was trying to make: admissions for football players were tightened after Flunkgate, yet the failure of Flunkgate was due to Gailey's turning over more of the oversight of the academic support role to the academic side of the house. The lady that THE HILL put in charge of that *cough* Carol Moore*cough* failed to do her job properly. And now the football team is suffering from years of tightened admissions standards because of ineptitude on the academic support side of the house, not the athletic side at all. [/QUOTE]
