All good questions. Currently the average ACT score is a 33. Average athlete score (most recent I could find) 24. It is an interesting balance, do you bend standard to keep a high profile program and revenue machine in place? Tough question.

Why do we always need liberals trying tochange everything? Why not make the schools recruit the type of players that represent their student body? Why is the football player average ACT at a 23 and the student body over a 30?

I agree. That is a really interesting ideal.

They got the good breaks, injuries were ‘reasonable’, and when they beat Miami – well anyone who was around for that will remember that. They believed in themselves and it was one of those special years when everything went well.

They’ve got tons of talent on this team, but I want to see some swagger. Not arrogance, but attitude.

Why not institute a graduation rate around 70% for all schools or you lose scholarships for the next two years, They are for the sake of argument supposed to be student/athletes, not a farm system.
