I continue to struggle with football players and academics.
The player knows what he has to do and yet there is a problem.
You take boom boom classes in high school that requires a minimal amount of work and intellectual engagement yet you still struggle to make the grades needed. Meanwhile, you have plenty of time to workout endlessly on the football side.........

Here we go again. Thought this guy would make a real impact this year. Doubt Fsu or Bama would have any trouble getting this guy in.

As a Zook assistant coach once said "you have to realize that some of these kids are mildly retarded".

Yea but I have to say......I always feel better knowing, as we are getting our azz handed to us by FSU, and Bama, that our admissions office is doing there part to make sure all of our players are deserving or enrollment.

What is the hold up? Does UF require a slightly higher test score or something than the NCAA?
Out of those 3 players that needed to qualify he is the 2nd most important one I think.

I don't get blaming UF admissions for having a hard time admitting a kid that had ****astic grades in HS. I think even FSU wouldn't admit him and that's saying something. At the end of the day if he can't make it in he'll go the prep school route, WV, or JUCO. He only has himself to blame and didn't this kid get accused of smoking funny cigarettes on his OSU visit or something to that effect. Then you wonder why admissions is doing their due diligence.

Yes.
Every school has established standards for athletes and they are all lower than those for the general student body. Some schools(like FSU and Alabama) for the most part require a pulse and a 2.0 in moron high school classes. Meanwhile UF, immersed in its self righteousness, actually tries to determine if the kid is capable of graduating before they will admit.
On one hand you can take the high road and say that you are proud that your school is more demanding or you can be more pragmatic and ask yourself why your school puts itself at such a significant disadvantage compared to nearly ALL of our primary competitors.
Personally, I used to take the high road but 8 years of sucking has changed my attitude.
