[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 154202, member: 198"] I understood your point, too, which is why I didn't respond back again. However, Navy has natural advantages in recruiting (and disadvantages), that make the recruiting very different. I think at Tech CPJ is chasing a much higher profile athlete than at Navy. He can get kids to seriously look at Tech that wouldn't even sniff Navy. Also, everyone at Navy is on a non-athletic scholarship, so there's no 85 limit there, just the 105 limit. I don't think recruiting to Navy prepared CPJ for what he was going to face at Tech. I'm not sure that which school would be more academically rigorous. At Tech, the classes are (were) much more challenging to get high grades than comparable upper eschelon universities (i.e. Stanford, Berkeley, ND, etc.). Whereas these other schools are highly selective regarding admissions, once you're there, they're not trying to flush you out; historically, Tech has. I've heard that that has changed recently, which is both positive and negative. Couple that with football and it takes much self-discipline and time management to succeed. On the other hand, the guys at Navy have even less time available. Not only do they have to handle the rigorous academic level and football, but they have all of the military-related duties, as well. They have less time to get in trouble, but the self-discipline and time management skills have to be there to survive. I'm not sure that they don't have more oversight, as well. [/QUOTE]
