I recall all this stuff about discriminatory and biased testing hitting the fan with the Proposition 42 BS a couple of decades ago:

“Proposition 42 also requires the student to forego his initial season, but it does not allow the student to receive a scholarship that year. They are, however, eligible for non-athletic aid on a need or academic basis.

Gerogetown coach John Thompson and Temple’s John Chaney criticized the new proposal as culturally biased, and it is expected that Chaney will file a civil suit against the NCAA as a result.

Meanwhile, Penn State Women’s Basketball Coach Rene Portland expressed her approval of the proposition.

One of Penn State’s most visible freshmen athletes, Tony Sacca, also believes the rule will be helpful.

“I guess it’s a good idea. . . . I never had to worry about it,” the freshman quarterback said. “It’s just going to make it harder to get dumb people in, and we really don’t need them anyway.”
