Remember when Tom Brookshier got fired from CBS back in the 80s for saying that the collective IQ of the Louisville basketball team was 40.

Yep.

[Grampa Dave]

So what is new.

Colleges did that in the 1950’s.

I’m not sure if at the time, if Scully was still the top guy for NFL on CBS, he was the one who announced “The Catch” in 81.

“The National Association of Basketball Coaches requests the NCAA remove an eligibility requirement to submit SAT or ACT scores...the NABC decries the two tests as wicked forces of institutional racism “

Are blacks under represented in college basketball?

My personal favorite were the “student-athletes” from Xavier’s basketball team that got in a huge brawl with Cincinnati’s team and, at the post-game press conference, emphasized that “we gangstas, man.”

Yes, college basketball teams have been far too white for decades. This must change.

Brigham intended the test to demonstrate the racial superiority of white blood. His project, of course, failed.

It demonstrated the superiority of Asian Tiger Moms.

They’ve been recruiting Dumb Jocks for decades

Low GPAs and test scores, plus massive amounts of tutors and testing/academic fraud

And it’s still not enough

[TexasM1A]

Jimmy the Greek was right.

[cranked]

Hardly new given the fact that universities and colleges have long been dumbing down uni/college entrance requirements.......

[Kaslin]

i am sorry, but the name doesn't ring a bell.

I am reading here however that he was reinstated again, CBS's announcing lineup for the 1984 season, continuing as a network commentator through 1987.

[dfwgator]

And they don’t even teach them how to read. Look up the story of James Brooks of Auburn.
