[QUOTE="GTRambler, post: 511427, member: 4009"] Getting back to the original subject, and in an effort to answer my original questions in that started this thread, here are my conclusions: Try as I might, through my Internet searches on the subject, I have been unable to locate any concrete and published official source on Georgia Tech’s minimum academic requirements for incoming student-athletes, including football players. If there is anything printed on paper regarding these requirements, I now suspect it is entirely in-house, and known only to Georgia Tech’s coaches, the class instructors, and the administration (i.e., “The Hill” as many of y’all call it). Additionally, the best source from outside the Institute about academic requirements for football players was the one published by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution back in 2014, as I noted earlier in this thread, and linked again here for your reading: [URL]http://investigations.myajc.com/football-admissions/[/URL] Please read the above article carefully. I believe this article is factually true, and answers my questions. Georgia Tech’s football players are recruited with much lower academic requirements than those for its general student body, and in fact, are basically the same as those for Georgia’s football players ... perhaps just a little bit higher than Georgia’s, but still basically the same, in the same ballpark. The only difference is in the number of “special exceptions” between the two football teams, with Georgia having about twice as many exceptions as Georgia Tech (again in 2014, as noted in the above AJC article). I don’t know the number of exceptions now, at this time (2018). So, to me, it means there are no “recruiting restrictions” for Georgia Tech’s football recruits, at least as far as I can determine, other than the difference in the number of academic exceptions given. Perhaps one major “restriction” for Georgia Tech, then, is very likely GT’s limited curriculum. Most of Tech’s football players currently major in Business Administration, with only a few other players majoring in other fields that are offered by the Institute. This may play a big factor in Georgia Tech’s ability to recruit football players, but then again, I don’t think it should because of all the tutoring available. [/QUOTE]
