**A lowered academic standard would be news to Vandy coach James Franklin.
Since he arrived at Vanderbilt in 2011, Franklin has embraced his institution’s strict academic reputation instead of running from it. It’s a pillar of his recruiting pitch, something he mentions almost every time he speaks with media.
At SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., this summer, Franklin lauded his team’s academic accomplishments. He pointed to the past decade, saying team GPA has been “on par” as the program’s win total increased.
Is that how Spurrier did it at Duke?
Unless Franklin is doing it with all freshmen and sophomores, it's a ridiculous question.
Spurrier went to a wide open offense at Duke and spread the field. He made the other teams cover him and they couldn't and he won the ACC title in 1989. I have loved his style ever since becasue he whipped UNC-Chapel Hill's butts in Kenan and before they could get the scoreboard turned off, he took the team over and took a team photo in front of the scoreboard. The man has kahonas!

It was a rhetorical question.
A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point.[1] The question is used as a rhetorical device, posed for the sake of encouraging its listener to consider a message or viewpoint. Though these are technically questions, they do not always require a question mark. A rhetorical question does not usually require an immediate answer, but is meant to draw attention to and start a meaningful discussion on the matter.
For example, the question "Can't you do anything right?" is asked not to gain information about the ability of the person being spoken to, but rather to insinuate that the person always fails.
While sometimes amusing and even humorous, rhetorical questions are rarely meant for pure, comedic effect. A carefully crafted question can, if delivered well, persuade an audience to believe in the position(s) of the speaker.[2]
In simple terms, it is a question asked more to produce an effect than to summon an answer.

Steve Spurrier is hands down my favorite college football coach of all time.
It was a rhetorical question.
Now the Carrot Top avatar makes perfect sense.
