Oh yeah, this will do a lot to dispel the “dumb jock” stereotype.
Bwahahahaha
IOW. We need players so why are you making hard???
Tell these butt holes that the tail does not wag the dog.
so merit and achievement tests are now ‘racist’
Dear Coach, is your statement an open admission that you are inferior, or what?
(ps: the smartest kid in my undergraduate class was black, so don’t give me any more BS that black people are inferior, you are full of Sheit making statements like that!)
Proving that the real purpose of college basketball is the coach’s salary.
But college athletics has nothing to do with an education. They are guaranteed a degree and “da program” will see to it that no one fails, right up to having someone else take their tests for them. The SAT and ACT do a passable job of making sure the one who is taking the test is the one who will get the grade. In college, “da program” has it all arranged, wink wink, nudge nudge. This will allow “da program” the expense of requiring that their “students” are smart enough to get into college.
Ask yourself this: if “da coach” earns more than the president of the university, wouldn’t you question that university’s credential to confer a degree?
Lulz, nearly 3/4s of them can’t read nor understand what they read nor can they put an academic paragraph together.......been my experience teaching nearly a decade at uni/college level.
LOL - of course they do.
College bball is over anyway. The top prospects are going to directly to the professional G league after high school. Four out of the top five best HS players are doing just that come September. The days of the one-and-done are over.
*****
You mean they're going to start recruiting more white, asian and hispanic players??
You would think it’s insulting because it’s basically saying “we need to lower the acceptance threshold even lower to give minorities a chance to get in.”
It also says the university doesn’t care about education, they need the sports revenue.
Heh, entrance exams have never made much diff. No change here, in reality. Our universities are now a joke in virtually every area. Upcoming graduates should be treated as the total dumb*sses that they are. And that most certainly includes law grads - because we know where the bottom of that crowd goes ...”Future Congresscritter”.
I agree, I believe we need the DUMBEST STUDENTS to play basketball! I mean, we do have a high school drop out, who thinks he know about China - Hong Kong relations!
How having a winning basketball program can be reconciled with the New Virtues that denigrate (Oops! Can I still use that word?) being #1, winning at all costs, an action orientation, a winner/loser dichotomy, aggressiveness, decisiveness, and so on is beyond me.
Grades and tests are racist, of course.
Uh, does anybody believe these guys ever took their own SATs or didn’t do it with a special fix, like the whole college admissions scandal?
I smell Boeheim Pitino in this. The coaches opinion here means absolutely nothing. They would “hire” players off the streets that couldn’t read or write. I was in this business as a high school coach and I’ve seen them in action. Remember how Black coaches whined about Prop 48 which merely required basic academic skills? John Thompson and Roy Williams made that into a joke.
So, college basketball players aren’t really students? They are minor league professionals?
OMG—wonder why???
PATHETIC!!!!!!!
This sort of thinking brings me back to the idea that no college should have sports.
