[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 693434, member: 4572"] That’s not really what I’m saying. It’s actually kind of the opposite. I think the biggest academic hurdle Tech faces is its lack of majors. The rigor obviously will turn some recruits away, but the vast majority of SAs who don’t pick GT because of academic reasons is probably because GT doesn’t offer a degree in what they’re interested in. The overwhelming majority of recruits qualify to get in to Tech based on current SA requirements. Do you think most athletes at Tech are held to the same entry requirements the general student population is? I would guess no more than 1/3 of the current scholarship football players could’ve gotten admitted to Tech if they were applying as a regular student. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just how collegiate sports work. With all the help that’s given to SAs at Tech, anybody with a work ethic that’s greater than zero will be able to graduate. It’s just getting them on campus that’s the biggest challenge. [/QUOTE]
