Do you think the minimum is the same for an average student and a prospective student athlete? Either at UA or LSU?
Sure. Tahj Jones isn't playing this year because of his grades, and 2012 recruits Avery Johnson and Jeremy Liggins didn't qualify. There are probably more that I'm missing.

Okay. Does that change what I said?
No, but the wonderlic isn't a requirement to get into college.

Oh. You're one of those kind of folks. "Student-athlete" is a bullshite term.
Does the university exist because of the football program, or does the football program exist because of the university?

You're mistaking clearance and eligibility.

An LSU fan took a shot. I pointed out that LSU has some paste eaters also.

"Amateur" athletics are a joke. These kids are being used for their play and it is one big business.
I would love it if every kid was like Barrett Jones. They aren't. I know that. You know that. Everyone knows that.
