yeah, the "student" athlete part of things has become and is a joke. shite, listening to Jameis talk Monday night was confirmation of that.

So Missouri denied their request? What is the AAU school scared of exactly?

Every other SEC school I clicked on didn't release their info or is "processing test scores"

Missouri denied our requests, saying it does not keep records, or track in any way entrance exam scores or results of reading evaluations for athletes. Missouri also says it does not identify students as athletes during the admissions process, but does have mentors and tutors who work with athletes on all subjects.

this is embarrassing

UGA is the only SEC school that makes those records available. That's a product of the Jan Kemp scandal.
ETA - looks like Ole Miss does too. Looks pretty consistent

It surprises me the number of retards that make it in college..not just athletes..

I can probably name at least a handfull of UA players between 2008-2010 that were borderline illiterate just from the one class I had with them.

Speaks a lot more to the ineptitude of the public education system in this country, specifically southeastern states. I could read by the time I started school, I find it hard to believe that teachers that give half a shite couldn't teach a kid to read in 13 years. (Then again, they aren't paid enough to give half a shite)
Morally, I don't find a problem with schools keeping these kids eligible. At least it gives them a shot to make lives for themselves in professional football

They should be asking themselves this

According to several academic experts, the threshold for being college literate is a score of 16 on the ACT.
COLLEGE literate. Not just literate (can read). Massive difference.

this is one reason I'm not interested in personal lives of CFB players - like others seem to be

As someone else pointed out earlier, College Literate, and Illiterate are not the same thing. They are factoring in Math scores as well.
I'm a bunch of years removed from High School/College. I probably would tank on an SAT math section now as I have never needed to use any of those equations for any job I've ever held. And I think that's a problem with public education. They need to be teaching these kids more life skills than ramming quadratic equations down their throat.
