No, what you lack is the character to admit that you were wrong. I have no idea whether or not it is harder to get into UT than it is to get into other SEC schools. I do know that the quote from the OP has nothing at all to do with academic entrance requirements.


Edit: I am sorry for my rudeness. I did start this with my initial post to you, and I apologize for that. But I have no idea how you read the quote posted by the OP and come to the conclusion that they are talking about entrance requirements.

It is harder to get into UT than other schools which is where the problem arises.

This means only certain athletes can get in to compete which is harder, and puts a strain on the athletic department.

If it is harder to get in to UT than any other school, premier athletes will go elsewhere making it harder to win, and making it harder to make money.



Just because you lack the intelligence to connect the dots yourself doesn't mean you can tell people they are wrong.

Suppose that is true. It has literally nothing to do with the school "using the AD like an ATM."

The school (UT) shouldn't be using the AD like a damn ATM. When the football team is struggling to fill the stadium, generate revenue, and sell merchandise, they shouldn't have the burden of giving money to academics. UT needs a lot of money just to recruit in the SEC since the state doesn't produce enough talent on its own. Sounds like y'all got some mismanagement going on up there.

Have you ever heard of John Brown?

There was another recruit that couldn't get into UF but went to UT at the last minute this year as well.

You are silly and mildly entertaining.

That's what happens when you don't take your football team serious.

Don't most of the bigger schools give money to the University from the Athletic side?

I thought this was common practice.
