I can't wrap my mind around how fricking retarded this kid is. FSU should be straight up ashamed that they admitted him, no way he makes over a 16 on his ACT legitimately.

Upon further investigation of the compliance/admission criteria, FSU shouldn't be ashamed, the NCAA should.
An athlete with a 3.55 high school GPA only has to have a 9.25 composite ACT score to qualify. That is over as many attempts as they want to take, and taking the best score from each section to calculate the composite. For an idea of how low that is, theoretically, guessing on every single question should net you a score of 8, with realistic results ranging from like 4 to 12.
You can literally be illiterate and get admitted, assuming you have some high school favoritism (obviously, almost all athletes do). I can't explain how ridiculous this is. Meanwhile, we are making intelligent and successful students take out loans, with interest, to pay for school.

Hey don't blame Winston. He's only doing what he's always done, and they are letting him get away with it. The ones that should be ashamed of themselves is the Tallahassee police dept. and FSU for letting him get a way with the rape charge. Let's also give a big shout out to the Heisman voters that voted for such an upstanding young man.
