it’s Charles Shackleford, and if i recall the sign was for JR Reid, a unc player and it said JR Can’t Read.
Charles Shackelford. He was “amphibious” as he said because Coach told him he was a good shooter with both hands.
He daid now....
Then there’s North Carolina, which did it out in the open...and the NCAA punted.
...Just go pro...

Once the lack of an audience of fans impacts professional sports, the sale of merchandise that will need constant vetting to make sure words and images are conformist to the intersectionality du jour,and the gender-confused begin to agitate for a ‘fair’ representation throughout the sport in all capacities, then the money and fame will depart.
Once there is no money, no fame, no kickbacks and no bribes,no one will care who plays or does not and at which level. The progs will once again have destroyed something by making their demands.
With no college sports feeding the pro sport level, all recruitment will once again take place on the street. But the fans will be gone. The TV cameras will be gone. The tie-in endorsements will be gone. So no one will care except the few who actually loved the game for itself.
Problem solved.
this is an apocryphal story that has bee spread around forever. totally not true. Jim Valvano said that stuff all the time. I’ve heard this story a million times as a knock from unc fans. they all saw it on wral is what they say. i’ll shut up when the youtube video comes up.
Craig Robinson? You mean Michelle Obama’s brother?
If Princeton and Harvard Law had academic standards, she would never have been admitted to either.
”One more thing, gentlemen, before I quit. Thomas Jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase that the Yankees and the distaff side of the Executive branch in Washington are fond of hurling at us. There is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, for certain people to use this phrase of context, to satisfy all conditions. The most ridiculous example I can think of is that people who run public education promote the stupid and idle along with the industrious—because all men are created equal, educators will gravely tell you, the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inferiority. We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe—some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cake than others—some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of men.”
You didn't make an argument. You challenged a statement I made by saying, "Prove it. What study or studies proves that point." By the way, studies don't "prove" anything. I told you my observations.
What are they studying at school?
Some were STEM majors; others (for example) business majors. I don't know all their majors, but none of them majored in women's studies, for example, although I would argue that a liberal arts degree also requires college-level academic ability.
SATs are a good predictor in the schools of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Engineering.
I never said they weren't a good predictor. I even said scholarships should still be given for high test scores. I merely said a low score doesn't mean you won't do well in college.
Of course. But, a low SAT score doesn't mean you won't do well in college. It's one test on one day, although most students take it 2-3 times to raise their score.
especially a one Craig Robinson.....
