[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 15632, member: 77"] I see this as a linchpin in your argument and it's simply not true. Most of the difference makers on Ross' 1990 team would not get in today. 2 reasons: 1) The NCAA instituted APR since then. All athletes are required to stay on track to graduate. That hurts us more than most people realize because our academic degree requirements are so difficult compared to the factories. In Ross' day, guys could take remedial courses until their elligibility ran out. All they had to do was maintain a minimum GPA (in remedial course work). Not anymore. 2. The hill was embarrassed big time by Flunkgate and the NCAA probation(s). Our academic image is paramount and that includes athletes. The hill is more exclusive now than anytime in our history wrt admitting borderline students. CPJ's success in this arena gives him huge clout with the hill. [/QUOTE]
