Do you think most LSU football players made a 22 on their ACT?

The low GPA is precisely why Pruitt wanted him to transfer to Foley.
He could of retaken classes in florida as well. He could of also taken summer school classes in florida as well, both this summer and next BTW, but he didnt.
Anyways the reason was because he couldnt take over 6 core classes in FL. it wasnt because of his GPA, it was because he could take more classes and not have to go to summer school

Precisely why they have an arrangement. It would affect both the revenue and the quality of play. but let’s be honest, it's all about the revenue. The NCAA likes to put a guise up when it comes to the student part of student athlete, more so in CFB and to a lesser extent CBB

I have no way of knowing that, but football players should have to meet the same standards as every other student.
And in Louisiana, your ACT score and high school GPA isn't a factor if you transfer to LSU from a JUCO, so it's not like you can't play football here if you can't get into LSU.

True, he could have. But...he could take/re-take more classes at Foley during the school year than at Washington. Also, making up classes in a computer-based setting during the summer following senior year (Washington High's plan for Paige) decreases the chances of making it through the NCAA clearinghouse. Tweets from John Infante, NCAA Bylaw expert, about the Paige transfer:
"So not only does this transfer appear to be on the up-and-up, but the explanation given is even commendable"
"If a kid needs to play catch-up with the eligibility requirements, you’d much rather he do it in a regular classroom"

The ability to take additional classes is definitely part of the reason he transferred. The other part is that he needs to raise his GPA:

According to the documents, Faucheaux told investigators one of the reasons Pruitt wanted Paige to transfer to Foley was he believed the senior’s core GPA to be a 1.66
So you should probably just concede defeat on this one and next time be a little more informed before accusing someone of making stuff up.

So, the low GPA is "precisely"(or exactly) why? again it was because the number of classes offered, not the GPA. So saying that the sole reason for Pruit wanting him to transfer is because of GPA, is yes "made up". I guess you missed this part quote:and this part, more importantly
one of the reasons

And if was truly concerned about his GPA, he would tell him to quit football and study

What is your point here?
Bama's coach was helping a high school kid actually have the grades to make it into college. There wasn't cheating. The only thing illegal was a LSU fan announcing to the world private info about a kid.

Ok, ok, ok. Let me get this straight. You started this whole exchange because you took issue with my use of the word "precisely"? You thought that I should've used "partly" instead of "precisely" and you expressed this by stating that I was making stuff up. When I asked for clarification, you originally failed to provide any clarification.
Ok, either you're just the most retarded, arguementative jackass on the internet or you originally thought I made up the stuff about the GPA (probably because you hadn't actually read the article). Once you figured out that you were mistaken, you stubbornly decided to attempt to use semantics to save face.
All that aside, the number of core classes issue and the GPA issue are not separate; they go hand in hand. As I pointed out originally, the fact that he can take additional classes at Foley means that he can re-take classes he did poorly on at Washington thereby raising his GPA.

I read somewhere that the summer school program at the Pensacola school had been canceled a few years back...didn't have the money or something.
It wasn't just Paige that the Pensacola AD got pissy about. It would have been the same if Paige was a FSU or UGA commit, he'd still been vindictive about 1.) Losing his player and 2.) That player being committed to somewhere other than LSU. (But it might have been especially bad that it was Bama cause of the NOLA BCSCG)

Things have calmed down for former Washington High defensive tackle Darius Paige over the past few months. But that might not last very long.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed to the News Journal that NCAA associate director of enforcement Renee Gomila will be in Pensacola this week to interview Washington officials about Paige. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing NCAA investigation.Paige’s transfer to Foley (Ala.) High School made national headlines when Washington High defensive coordinator George Schellang — who was the Wildcats’ interim head coach after Mike Smith’s resignation over the summer — alleged University of Alabama assistant coach Jeremy Pruitt forced the move.
Any way Paige qualifies for the Michael Oher Scholarship Fund?
Hell if he's a baller, get his arse to Bama.
