It wasn’t too terribly long ago that in order to get a football scholarship there were certain academic requirements to meet or you went to juco or a lower division school, supposedly.

I guess it’s Katy bar the door now letting anyone in no matter what while real students struggle to afford the price of college or admission standards.

It pissed me off back in the day and to hell with all of them now.

They still have high school course requirements and GPA that they have to make (2.3). They did drop the SAT/ACT sliding scale requirement they used to have.

But the guys in college today usually have been farmed out to a decent high school. They way more prepared for college than the dudes coming in to college football the late '80s and '90s. Many of those guys were coming out of inner city schools and a lot of them were full fledged gang members.
