I strongly suggest, that everyone carpet bomb Turner's email, mention the money you have commited to the program, that's the one thing that gets through to him.

I mentioned and have received no response...

Dutch,
I hope you are correct with your "understanding"!

Sorry if this has already been asked, but do we for sure know why they were not admitted? Was it purely academics or was there something else involved?

what has been written was SAT on one and transcripts on the other.

I hope good news comes soon. Hall was a good player. I thought he could come in right away and make an impact. Hopefully it isn't too late for him.

How often have you seen him play?

And if he was a good player, he still is a good player ... for UTSA.

Never saw him in person only on film. He had some clutch picks in HS. Two were game winners. He's not very big but he plays really physical and is always in the right place at the right time. He'll be a good player wherever he ends up.

Let's hope Turner gets this right before the [deleted] hits the fan, cause it's going to. Best way for him to diffuse what's coming, is to right the ship himself and now.

Wow, this is a super optimistic post from you these days. I honestly figured that the ship had sailed, and we were past being able to do anything about it.

That leads me to a question that you may be able to answer without compromising anything: There is an appeals process, but I don't know (and haven't read anywhere) if that has been exhausted. Is there any chance of fixing this via normal channels, or will it require special action by the administration?

Jeremy took the SAT in the fall and received a low score on the English portion. The SMU coaching staff suggested he take the ACT, since SMU accepted those scores, too. He did, and received a score high enough to make him NCAA eligible.

This committee reviewed the SAT score and "believed" Jeremy wouldn't be able to pass English at SMU, so they rejected his admission - two days before he was to move in the dorm.

The only character issues you folks should be questioning are those of the admissions committee, not Jeremy's. He's a fine young man and would be more than just an athletic asset to SMU.

Sometimes this school can truly make you crazy.

I'm sure SMU is not unique in that aspect.

I really have no idea where we are in the process, but I'd think some protocol could be skipped, if just to avoid the public crapstorm that is around the corner.
