I always assumed Hakeem Nicks scored so low on the wonderlic because he was illiterate.

Yeah the guidelines for students with special talent is "are they that good? They can get in regardless of how smart they actually are."

We didn't let Pistol Pete in, but the SEC requirements were low enough that he could go to LSU.

Granted, college sports wasn't a multi-billion dollar industry then, but just illustrating that there are cases where even the best passer in the history of basketball wasn't good enough to get past entrance requirements.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/09/us/ncaa-athletes-unc-response/index.html

lol, cnn's response to that statement. unc is a joke.

my favorite part:
Quote :
"In addition, Willingham says her research on the students in the athletics programs that make money for the university was done based on screenings that the university itself paid for. And, she says, she has gotten permission from the university several times since 2008 to access those findings to continue her research.

"It's already available to them," Willingham said. "It's in their system. ... They have all the data and more. It belongs to them, and they paid a lot of money for it.""

My favorite part

Quote :
"Last year, when CNN asked UNC for comment on Willingham's research, officials initially denied knowing about it, and said: "Such analysis is not part of her job duties at the university."

Then, after being shown the e-mails, a spokesperson admitted that Willingham did share her findings and did have permission from the university to do the research in the first place, and said a meeting with Willingham was being scheduled."

^^holy shit.

i was watching the news last night and they stressed in the report several times that unc said they couldn't comment because they hadn't seen the data, and I was like "well that's understandable". but of course it was a lie.

just a reminder for anyone who uses "all schools do this" as a rebuttal:

that's true, but not all schools try to brand being an honest, upstanding, and decent person as "the carolina way."

further, it seems they don't even behave behave decently in the first place.

here's a nice video about the things that supposedly set UNC apart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bs9BW7IBoA

i like the part about 'we want to be great, but not at the expense of being good.' ha!

the illiterate student article made front page of Reddit today. the Carolina throwaway accounts detail how widespread shit like that is. the non-throwaways basically deride them and some offer death threats.

Tyler Hansbrough tried to order oatmeal at hams once. The waitress told him they didnt serve oatmeal and he pointed at it on the menu and she was like those are omelettes. True story the guy was a fucking dumbass.

A friend of mine used to hang out with a few players because she was good friends with Ginyard's roomate. She said Hansbrough was creepy. Challenged her to a cookie eating contest. She didnt want to play. So he just went and ate like 12 cookies and goes well i just ate over half of them so now you cant win. good one

Yeah, Roy, that's kind of what we've all been saying... It's damned easy to graduate when you have a fake degree program set up to ensure you graduate.

Quote :
"And every kid – and I can’t say others – but I know what the program’s been for 100 years. Every one of the kids that we’ve recruited in 10 years you’d take home with you and let (them) guard your grandchildren."

Well, when they are being provided guns by known felons, i guess there's some security there...

"The enrollments of the earliest known no-show classes could provide clues as to how the scandal started. He said he had not been focused on finding that out and was not aware that The N&O was seeking that information.

“I appreciate the suggestion, and it sounds like something maybe we ought to take a look at,” Dean said.

The N&O has been pressing the university’s chancellor, legal and communications staff for this information for several months.

UNC system President Tom Ross has not sought the information. On Friday, he had no comment on Willingham’s research other than he knew the university was seeking to vet it, and he wanted to know the result.

“We need to look at those facts to see what, if any, research was done and what it shows,” he said. “I don’t think we have the information about that at this point.”

The CNN report is the latest in a stretch of national reports about the academic fraud since New Year’s Eve. Ross called the national attention “a distraction.”

“It flares up and then it goes away, and it flares up and it goes away,” he said. “The big issues that we’re really facing in higher education that affect all of our students, those are the ones the board is focused on, those are the ones that we’re working on all the time. That’s not to say we’re not focused on these other issues. We’ve spent a lot of time on them.”
"

What a couple of clowns. It's not going away anymore. There's actual research data now. Death threats make the headlines juicier. The moral high ground is lost.

Any school dealing with APR issues (UCONN) call bullshit on the all schools do this... An entire system of fake classes to cater to athletes and keep them playing is not everywhere.

If they couldn't read how they get in? If they can't read how they stay in.?

Plus she doesn't report to Roy. She reports to the academic advisors for the athletic department. And we already know they weren't gonna do anything about it.
