[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 258863, member: 944"] As someone with a GT degree and an Ivy League degree, as well as being involved in the Admissions process (as an interviewer) for an Ivy League school, I can attest to the fact that YlJacket is correct. In fact we are directed by the Admissions Office on how to handle student athletes who wish to apply to the college (and it involves having them contact the coaches directly, not going through us). To be fair, we ar not talking about SEC admissions standards, but we are also definitely talking about exceptions to the "normal" admissions process. At a school that accepts only 7% of those applying, and where SAT score averages are close to perfect, most athletes would have trouble getting admitted without some help. Tommy Amaker (formerly of Duke) isn't coaching at Harvard because he can't get decent players in...he can and he succeeds at that level. (And no one argues that it "cheapens" their degrees, btw.)
