Skrayper, I think your post is spot on for the average student, but fails to take into account the fact that athletes are generally getting into schools they have no business being in.

Perhaps, but it becomes intellectually dishonest to trumpet being a bastion of academic integrity if, on the flip side, schools give a pass and even the Tech's of the NCAA landscape allow in kids with the same criteria as getting into any other institution.
