It's hairsplitting. Let's say his reading comprehension was at a 6th grade level. What business did he have at our state's alleged "flagship" school?

About as much business as all the other students there...6th grade reading level is a few steps up from coloring books.

Also keep in mind that he majored in communications. How can someone pass a post-secondary level communications class with an primary school level reading ability?
 
Can someone tell me (besides nothing) what the football team (any football team) has to do with the academic aspect of a university? Is there even supposed to be a connection? I can tell you - in my 6 years at Tech - I never saw a football player inside either of the architecture buildings.

We have few engineers on the team, and even fewer architecture majors. I can't think of a single one, but I know Isaiah Johnson amd a few others majored in BC or whatever they're calling it now. Luke Schenscher studied ID and I saw him all the time.

Why are you so bitter?
He is a rising junior & this will be his first year starting. He has aspirations of playing for Clemson.

I asked him about Tech & he said no, because he doesn’t like the offense.

Are you saying your guy is more gifted than Graham?

What football player would have time for architecture?

There has NEVER been a Power 65 player who is an architecture major. Instant fail-out. There would be a RIOT in the architecture design lab (of any university) if a football player got preferential treatment (did half the required drawings for a presentation / still got a B).

Football players don’t get preferential treatment in any major, except being able to reschedule an exam that conflicts with a game.

Andrew Luck bro.

No architecture school would lower the required number of drawings. Shit, people with good designs wouldnt have all the requirements done (but had great designs) and they would get A's...really pissed me off.

If they were to give preferential treatment, they would just accept lower quality drawings as it is more subjective. Now they wouldnt be able to turn in absolute crap though. I dont think they would give much preferential treatment at Tech though except through scheduling. I'm pretty sure all studio times are during the typical football practice time. Also, other non-football athletes got no preferential treatment, but they were also great designers.

Luck was architectural design, not sure if that had all that much studio.
 
Wtf is so hard about architecture? Just a bunch of cartoons and 3d puzzles that never actually represent the final product? right?
 
I am sure (positive) that the Dean or Assistant Dean of Architecture would tell the "student-athlete" - you must choose between one or the other. YOU CAN'T DO BOTH! End of story........
 
I cannot imagine a school where the athletes are less representative of the student body than Georgia Tech. Certainly, there are good students who are also good athletes, but GT is attracting elite students from all over the world. Having successful sports programs does not seem to be important to the current academic mission. Also, the Institute's financial success has been decoupled from alumni "boosters". This is a sports message board; so it is important here, but I feel that this is a minority view.

The coaches will tell them the same thing.

It's also been decoupled from student tuition and State funding. GT is probably the most independent public university in the country: it doesn't need students, it doesn't need the USG, and it doesn't need athletics. Depending on the Institute's leadership and political savvy, it could:
  • Break off from the USG and Georgia could have two university systems: one with the uGA president and chancellor and one with the GT president as chancellor
  • Go private
  • Eliminate D-I athletics
  • Go almost completely research-based, like CalTech

Hmm, how do we start our own system? Act of Georgia legislature?
