[QUOTE="GoldZ, post: 520448, member: 1946"] Malcom Mitchell and James Graham beg to say it's not a lie. As for the SAT score report by the AJC, I doubt it's validity, especially considering the attitude of the Hill for many years. Yes, I know the Mitchell story doesn't rate directly to Tech's standards, but it does relate to far flung discrepancies. You don't go from documented (unlike the referenced AJC article), reporting of Tech's football team having the highest SAT scores in the nation among public D-1 programs, back to a few years earlier the Jan Kemp debacle, with this being a lie. If the 590 SAT is true, it's such a rare exception as to it make it near meaningless. Unfortunately, Mitchell and Kemp are not rare exceptions. Here is a list of what is no lie---Extra math requirements in HS for recruits, higher SAT/GPA requirements than most D-1 programs for recruits, tougher environment to meet APR rules via no place to hide (ALL degrees are BS vs BA), STEM is not cool with the vast majority of D-1 calibre football players, and the Southeast educational system is weaker than most. Yes, football players receive, justifiably, guidance and advantages that regular students don't. So? Just imagine a 1500+ SAT regular student keeping a football players schedule and at the end of the day going to study several hours after getting the crap knocked out of em!? Look, I'm all for "exceptions" (as defined by those that are short of the AA's standards, which are higher than most programs). Without them, Tech would have the football legacy of RICE, no MNC, and no TIAR, but this notion that Tech isn't very unique/challenged academically when it comes to major CFB is silly/incorrect/naive and it IS a lie. Let's all hope TStan and CGC can mitigate this to a meaningful degree yet maintain Tech's wonderful uniqueness. [/QUOTE]
