[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 447990, member: 1451"] Well, dang—my half-page of brilliantly organized, point-by-point rebuttal is now moot...:) (Truth be told, it was getting a little tldr even for me to proof-read, despite its fantastically brilliant yet humble awesomeness...) It can be frustrating when the academic side of Tech seems to place unnecessary obstacles in front of our athletes—but that's not what's happening behind the curtain. Faculty provide every accommodation possible to student-athletes, short of giving them a free pass. (Lookin' at [I]you[/I], Carolina...) There are simply a LOT of issues to juggle (as pointed out just now by [USER=347]@Animal02[/USER]), in order to sustain a degree program; it is impossible to create a four-year course sequence that [U]won't[/U] result in scheduling problems for a significant fraction of your students. The fact that our student-athletes sometimes have to contend with these issues—the same way that regular students do—is a [I]good[/I] sign, in my book. I'd be more concerned if our SA's [I]never[/I] faced the same scheduling/attendance challenges as regular students. (Lookin' at [I]you[/I], Carolina...oh wait; you gave sham classes to regular students too, just to cover up your sham classes for athletes...never mind.) [/QUOTE]
