I'd still like to hear a good argument about how fewer exceptions are a better solution than better academic support for athletes (and non-athletes as well).
The argument would be Stanford. We just need our Harbaugh and our Andrew Luck.
1-11 season, ignore recruiting rankings, sign the 3rd worst ranked class in the Pac-12 by the numbers, stop trying to tutor kids in the program and tighten the restrictions to get in in the first place... 3 years later they make 5 straight bowl games. Faces of Wake football like Curry graduate and shit on the program. Faces of Stanford graduate and give millions back to the Athletic Department, directly funding massive improvements in recruiting and facilities. Don't have any confidence it'll work at Wake, but that's the argument for getting guys that fit the academic standards of the school rather than allowing a bunch of exemptions in and trying to prop them up to stay in school.
