Breaking News - Report from ESPN will BLOW YOUR MIND

Postby SMU2007 » Wed Dec 30, 2009 10:38 am

Report: Exemptions benefit athletes

Athletes at the 120 schools in college football's top tier enjoy strikingly better odds of having admission requirements bent on their behalf.

An Associated Press review of admissions data submitted to the NCAA shows that athletes at 27 schools were at least 10 times more likely to benefit from special admission programs than students in the general population.

That group includes 2009 Bowl Championship Series teams Oregon and Georgia Tech. It also includes Alabama, which is playing Texas for the national title Jan. 7.

NCAA officials called the AP review the most extensive such study to date.

And water is wet.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

God forbid ESPN would actually do some real reporting. I could have put this story together in my sleep.

The follow-up article will be more interesting where they come clean on the fact that any BCS school found guilty of this behavior will be politely asked not to do it again, but any non BCS school will be penalized with scholarship reductions.
