I have just finished reading an article about the Tech baseball feat accomplished this past weekend.
It was mentioned again, no baseball player had any academic problems. It is understood, for the most part, all of the remaining athletic teams are free from this dilemma accept the football team.
Some will blame it on the coach, but all of the athletic teams are treated the same by the academic tutoring system. It is beginning to place some doubt in my mind as to the true culprit/culprits in this situation.
It is possible the fault lies directly with the athletes and their non-desire to pass the courses. It seems there is a core group, although very small, of Tech followers who also wants Gailey to fail.
With this in mind, some players laying down on Tech and Gailey last year, and the possible split loyalty of some of the players between BOB and Gailey, the possibility exists some of those players did not care to exert the effort to pass the courses.
If the players knew they could remain in school, not have to play for Gailey this year, and be elligible to play next year, and hope Gailey gets the axe at the end of the year; it is possible they are part of an attempt to get rid of Gailey and Braine at the same time.
It is also possible a core group of Tech followers is part of this problem and are fueling this attempt with some disgruntled players in an attempt to bring about their desired objectives.
What makes this appear feasable to me is the fact some of the core group of followers have been anti-Gailey from the very beginning without one iota of desire that he should succeed at Tech.
If these players purposely neglected their studies for this reason, justice will be served if Gailey is awarded another year after this one.
If the above situation were to be true, and Gailey given an additional year, both the players and fans involved with this attempt to railroad Gailey would have their folly return on their own heads.
With one more year of recruiting, and very few of the players remaining from the old regime after the third year of recruiting, it is possible there would be a change in the whole attitude in the football program.
The above described situation may not be true and is submitted only as a possibility. However, there appears to be a disparity in the grades between football athletes and the other athletes at this particular time.
If this happened all the time, it could be accounted for, but this is the first year a disparity has appeared in the grades between the different athletics.
It came as a total surprise to everyone. If I was a football player, was trying hard to pass, and realized I was having grade problems, I would talk to coach Gailey
and try to get additional help.
In this case, it appears coach Gailey was not approached by any of the athletes and knew nothing of their grading problems.
Sounds fishy!
