a few of the interesting comments...

Many athletes lag far behind on SAT scores

the bottom five-- Oklahoma State, Louisville, Memphis, Florida, Texas Tech
Nationwide, coaches who would never offer a scholarship to a player who
was 6 inches shorter or half a second slower than other prospects routinely
recruit players whose standardized test scores suggest they’re at a
competitive disadvantage in the classroom.


"It’s the price of winning.
“If you’re going to mount a competitive program in Division I-A, and our
institution is committed to do that, some flexibility in admissions of athletes is
going to take place,”


"The problem is there’s a huge world of Mickey Mouse courses and special
curriculums that athletes are steered into"


"Schools with the highest admissions standards, such as Georgia Tech; the
University of Virginia; the University of California, Berkeley; UCLA; and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, had the biggest gaps between the
SAT averages for athletes and the overall student body."
