Proud of UGA for teaching one athlete how to read in only three years. Role model for the rest of the team.

That’s the thing. He was a junior an unable to read so he joined a grandmother’s book club and they taught him. At the end of it, he wrote a kids book.

Moral of the story is if you can catch really well, you can cheat through uga as well.

For football, the minute the NCAA set parameters for football programs to show “progress towards graduation” everyone knew what that meant. B’s for everyone. I see it in my town in the public schools. The entire school system ensures everyone gets a 3.0? Why? The Hope scholarship. Then the money flows straight from the state to the local college. 4 years later a degree is conferred and then 3 months later the whining begins when they can’t find jobs because they can’t read or write at a professional level. It’s just sad and funny to watch the cycle.

It isn’t just football. Harvard has 20 levels of B as well. Unless you flat out don’t turn in psets or skip the final, you get a B. And it’s worse in some grad schools where they don’t give out grades (in other words a B is pass, same as everyone else).

imagine committing to a school and then seeing an old tard posting that you won’t be able to make it through.

it’s amazing how vested some of you aholes are in this narrative that we can’t recruit that this is your next take.

You didn't know? This is still the old GT from 1982 where there are 10k students and a third will flunk out. I hope he doesn't drown in drown proofing class.

Part of the reason the old GT flunked out so many people is they let in more tards. See @1982Jacket

That was probably a small part of it. I saw a bunch of high school valedictorians wash out; don't they get automatic acceptance now? Surviving GT back in those days had more to do with tenacity and attitude than pure smarts. Now even the tards at GT end up graduating, this message board is proof of that.

GT doesn’t let in a bunch of tards these days. I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but the admissions criteria has gotten much tougher than when a bunch of the old tards on here got in/out.

and for a lot of Georgia high schools, valedictorians are really just the tallest midgets

but those old tards love to reminisce about drown proofing and whatever else BS that doesn’t actually have any academic usefulness.

Back soon the day, there was no such thing as having a GPA over 4. 4 was it. You didn't get brownie points for AP classes.
Also, I didn't get to use a calculator on the SAT

That’s cause you had your slide rule, right?

They’ve gone up because colleges have now become degree mills. Look at the retention rate for a real school like GT. It’s jumped big time over the last 40 years. Imagine what most colleges look like if GT has such a high retention rate. It’s all about the money instead of graduating the best. Our entire society has shifted from rewarding the best to rewarding everyone.

For football, the minute the NCAA set parameters for football programs to show “progress towards graduation” everyone knew what that meant. B’s for everyone.

The people screaming about participation trophies were correct.

Admissions is far more selective; but the graduates aren't mentally tough anymore. You have to spoon feed and coddle them because there just isn't any mental/emotional tempering anymore at any of the schools. Graduates may be well educated; but they typically don't have survival skills/instincts.

Buck & a quarter pitcher nights at nearby establishments didn't help either, especially for those of us from the hinterlands & alone on our own in The Big City for the first time.

Once you learn you can't drink Atlanta dry, your GPA should go up.

Legal drinking age changed to 18 somewhere between 1968-1972: If you're old enough to get drafted & die in Viet Nam, you should be able to drink legally.

And then there was The Age of Aquarius influence on some.....

This is a great year to go heavy on the portal because no one is using a year of eligibility and everyone is likely to be immediately eligible. So you're getting guys with just about as much eligibility as an incoming freshman, but they've at least had some time in a college program, whether they've played in a game or not.

The transfers will also get what will hopefully be a normal spring practice.
