I think Georgia has a sad excuse for a football program. and it is mean to allow college kids to get a free ride to drink and drive and screw around and not graduate while others work hard to try and pay big money and graduate for their own education. While everyone whoops it up about their average football team. Something is wrong with that picture.
My father was a student athlete in basketball & baseball...Oglethorpe, 1930's. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have gone to college, gotten his degree, played in the Chicago Cubs program, coached, and by doing all of this improved himself to become successful in business when he left coaching. During his coaching and after, he helped many students get athletic scholarships. I certainly take a different view. Sure, maybe some aren't taking advantage...but for others, it may be a chance of a lifetime. It was for my dad and some of the boys he helped.
I do not really care much about football anymore,am from the old times when we had Tucker Fredickson, Pat Trammall, Fran Tarkention, Fuffen Rodreg, Darwin Holt, Chick Granning. Money and the players that schools have to recruit in order to win with no regard to character. Most all schools are guilty of this. There exceptons to this, Bo Jackson, Herchel Walker, and a few more, this applies to other sports also. All one needs to do is observe when you watch a game, whether H.S. ,College or Pro. The Academic standards have been lowered to allow the people to play. So do not sinigle out one school.
Lower standards? I think you forgot Jan Kemp...University of Georgia.. late 1970's and early 80's. She blew the whistle on athletes getting off too easy. Changed the entire admissions program and academic standards for players not only in Georgia, but around the nation. Today, even athletes have to have certain GPA's and SAT scores for admission and maintain a certain grade while in school (although it may not be really high, it certainly is HIGHER than it was. Plus athletes have access to tutors all the time)
Like I say I really dont care, check out Vandys Graduation rate, they had the best 1/ 4 back in NCAA Football last year, in my opinion, cant win the SEC Championship. NO WAY. Ga, Fl, Auburn, Alabama Tennessee, ones no better than the other when it comes to cheating. The Auburn fans a upset the the DAWGS won the SEC Crown. Nothing changed the world situtation, get over it. GO FISHING.
You can't compare Vandy with UGA and other public schools. Remember, it's private. It abides by different standards. It's like apples and oranges. Yea, they are all in the SEC, but that's just about all they have in common.
