Aaron Curry on OTL now

I don't think that people disliked Howard because of his political views. It was how he expressed it that drew ire. If basketball didn't exist Howard would never have touched foot on campus.

True of almost all football and basketball players.

Howard barely qualified. He's mildly retarded.

Tim Tebow would probably not qualify for Wake. The same crowd that hates Howard would not hate Tebus.

You would be correct. One said, and I quote, "The Star-Spangled Banner's going on right now and I don't even celebrate that s--t."

The other did not. So, you are correct.

And plenty of other students.

This doesn't even make sense unless you mean other athletes.

He's referring to legacy kids. I love Wake and pimp Wake academics hard but Wake isn't Princeton, Harvard or Penn. Legacy kids don't get the same advantage they do at the super elite schools.

Dbag.

James Johnson barely qualified too.

Yes, no way the disparity between "regular" and legacy standards is nearly as big as that between "regular" and athletics.

Whatever. Point is that isn't a valid criticism of Howard. You can talk about degrees but, again, the majority of football and basketball athletes would not be admitted under regular standards and many are probably much closer to Howard and Johnson than a typical applicant.

These guys couldn't crack 800 on the SATs. The majority of football and basketball players can. 800 isn't a score any adult should have.

 

[OldGoldandGrobe]

Does anyone have documentation showing our entrance standards for football? Common sense says we have almost no standards.

 

[Fuck Your Couch]

Pretty sure Wake standard for athletes entrance is to score a 950 SAT. The GPA standard is supposedly 3.0... but I don't buy that, I am sure it is somewhat flexible.

Howard had trouble meeting the minimum NCAA standards.

I was talking about students who came to Wake instead of Davidson, Emory, or Richmond, etc because Wake plays big-time college basketball.

What do legacies have to do with this?

Is he the worst representative for Wake Forest? who am I missing?

What do you mean Wake Forest. Curry's from E.E. Smith High School. Did I miss something?

Oh so you meant it in a completely different way than the original meaning.
