Steve Sarkisian takes a shot at Ole Miss

Doesn’t Vince young read at like a 4th grade level?

Not sure what prompted this outburst.

From the linked article inside your link:

“It’s like we’ve forgotten about academics, yet less than 5% of these guys will play in the NFL,” Sarkisian said. 

It is here where Sarkisian is reminded of the swift move allegedly pulled off earlier this spring by the Ole Miss staff. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney claims Ole Miss coaches were recruiting Tigers linebacker Luke Ferrelli while he was in class — and after he had just transferred from Cal. Sent Ferrelli a photo of a million dollar check, and Swinney has the receipts to prove it.

And NCAA enforcement has done nothing. Absolutely nothing. 

"Still haven't heard anything from the NCAA," Swinney said Monday during the ACC spring meetings.

Guess where Ferrelli is enrolled? Ole Miss. Which brings up another of the “inequitable” hills Sark is prepared to die on: academic inequity among FBS schools.

“At Texas, we will only take 50% of a player’s academic credit hours,” Sarkisian continues. “You may be a semester from graduating, but you’re going all the way back to 50% if you play here and want a degree. But at Ole Miss, they can take you. All you have to do is take basket weaving, and you can get an Ole Miss degree.”

Sounds like the reporter may have asked him a bit of a loaded question maybe? I understand what he's getting at as far as the academic stuff goes, but this is the definition of a those in glass houses situation. Texas wouldn't bat an eye at having a team full of illiterates if it guaranteed a championship.

I'm sure that matters for around 1% of transfers. They're all money whores more concerned with credit cards than credit hours. That's what an unelected, no name doofus judge turned the sport into. Talking academics in relation to college football was funny 10 years ago...today it's downright hilarious.
