Florida makes the grade

[hifigator]

All 26 of Florida's 2006 football recruits are academically eligible. They are the only SEC team which can make that claim. Between the other 11 SEC teams, there have been 30 student-athletes ruled academically ineligible for the upcoming season in addition to another 16 awaiting clearance from the NCAA clearinghouse for some type of red flag on their records. Kentucky leads the way with a whopping 7 non-qualifiers at this point.


Question to you all. With Georgetown's high standards I would expect that you don't have a lot of problems with this sort of thing ... or do you? Is it harder because of the standards or do you generally target the more studious athlete on purpose because of the high standards? Vandy is pretty much the class of the SEC academically and they only had one non-qualifier.

Also, do you know if GU accepts partial qualifiers? The SEC allows it but Florida does not. That always Editedes me off when someone is a partial qualifier that wants to come here but because of the University's "high road" they can't. Then they end up going to Georgia for example as a partial qualifier, get their grades up and then play against Florida for the next 3 or 4 years.

What Bahstin said.

edstimes and others get suspended for mentioning Esh all the time. Shouldn't this clown get a couple week hiatus for mentioning Florida football all the time? This schmuck is the internet's biggest troll...

What's the big deal - if you're not interested move on.

To try and answer your question I am pretty sure Georgetown has never taken a partial qualifier for any sport except hoops.

College football is really a complete embarassment - I thought hoops was bad but football is on a whole other level when it comes to recruiting abuses/academic fraud/criminal charges against college football players etc.

A friend of mine from Tennesse said there motto was always "if we ain't cheating we ain't trying"

Thank you BigMike. I was really more interested in how the higher standards of a Georgetown affected recruiting. Obviously Georgetown gets top notch recruits, but is it by specifically targeting the more intelligent student athletes or is the standard lowered a bit for the players. I don't remember any major issue involving a Georgetown player academically. That was really my question.

Buff and Bashtin, the first paragraph was just to set up the questions. Yes, I am somewhat proud of the fact that all of our guys qualified but I mentioned it and moved on to the real question. Lighten up Francii (isn't that the plural of Francis? LOL)

I will once again show my ignorance. What exactly does "TVBP" mean?

SEC football is the embarassment. Of course, hifi is still ignoring my response to his last nuggest of wisdom in the college football thread.
