When he was in high school in the Northeast Alabama area in the early 70s he was recruited by Tennessee as an invited walk on. Didn't make the grades. UT coach was Bill Battle.

Is the point of the story the fact your dad wasn't talented or smart?

To be an invited walk on implies paying for school something he couldn't do.

So let me get this straight. He had good enough grades to be accepted and to get walk on invite, but he didn't have the grades to be offered a scholly?

Dude, its a message board and people are just fricking with you. You do not have to justify your father to a bunch of morons on the internet. WE are kidding

Sorry to hear about the stroke though, and I am being serious about that.
