It’s well known that most universities will take athletes that fall far below the academic standard their non athletic peers are held to. There are some exceptions…Rice for example, but most schools will overlook substandard academics as long as they meet the ncaas minimum requirements.

Yeah most athletes could still go to A college just not the one they are playing sports for.

And athletes typically graduate at levels greater than the regular student body. So I guess it’s a wash.

What are the percentages for football and men’s basketball?

Definitely lower than the non revenue sports and I would be willing to bet it is dropping in the portal error, I mean era.

You said too dumb to go to college, therefore implying they would not be in college otherwise. You did not state that they score lower which has been known for decades. That article doesn’t say that anywhere.

Making an asshole statement that most are too dumb just isn’t rooted in anything factual…

I have a friend that is a big Duke fan, he says all Duke players have to admitted like all students and he believes it, told him he is crazy.

Especially at Chapel Hill where they have fake classes. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That was probably true years ago, but after Duke adopted the one and done model later in coach k’s career that definitely went out the window.

Its like davidson thinking that yet curry had a 2.5 gpa in high school

I remember football coach Carl Franks at Duke saying he couldn’t get some kids admitted that basketball could

Love that this is the hill you want to die on

Peppers had a 1.9 GPA that was raised by the 2.15 in the 11 fake AFAM classes he took.

Its widely rumored he may not have possessed 6th grade English skills when he graduated HS

HS athletes are pushed through all the time…always have…especially inner city athletic freaks. There are MANY that would never have gotten into college without athletics. Thats just a fact.

This isn’t a controversial opinion.

Sorry.

Duke blew that myth up when they admitted Sean Dockery. He couldn’t even stay eligible to play in the Chicago Public League.

http://www.chronicle.duke.edu/story.php?article_id=23279

Sean Dockery got a Duke scholarship even though he can’t qualify for minimum standards of NCAA eligibility even though he goes to what local writers call the worst school in Chicago, which probably means it is as bad as any in the whole country. Rob Matera of bobgibbons.net wrote that Dockery told him his low score, and the Chicago Tribune reported his 2.3 GPA and 15 ACT. It’s extremely common for recruits to tell reporters their GPA/ACT, in fact the best gurus, superprep, lists GPA and SAT/ACT for every single football recruit in the country no matter how low, recruits just don’t seem to care and why should they since they can get a scholarship almost anywhere they want? They do care a lot more about their bball skills but fans who’ve never played bball in their lives feel free to criticize that while those same fans feel 1400+ SAT Duke students shouldn’t comment on whether a kid way below 820 could handle their university, strange.
