Where is your list of "knuckle draggers" on the Alabama roster? I'm curious to see it. http://www.rolltide.com/roster.aspx?path=football Give it up. Look up UNC. Look up Florida State in Jimbo's glory days. To repeat, this is really the wrong hill to die on. Big time college sports is thoroughly corrupt but entertaining. It is what it is.

Since it is most of them, it should be easy to compile. This is a ridiculous question, but let's start with Rueben Foster and Marcel Dareus. I neither know enough about their roster (nor actually care) but feel very confident in surmising that the average SAT score hovers in the 925 range given that they're an SEC school competing with the likes of Florida (a better academic school) for talent. https://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/paper-trail/2008/12/30/athletes-show-huge-gaps-in-sat-scores A 925-950 score on the SAT is actually terrible.

You made a bold claim that most college football players are "knuckle draggers". I asked you to prove it by making a list of knuckle draggers from the football program at Alabama and all you can come up with is Rueben Foster and Marcel Dareus, who graduated in 2011? There were quite a few players between 2011 and present. So really, about less than 1% of Alabama players were knuckle draggers over that time period, assuming that the designation actually fits Foster and Dareus? In your mind, does less than 1% qualify as "most"? Edited April 11, 2018 by Sky Diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the 10th ranked school is 964 (very sad in and of itself) and a) Alabama isn't in that top 10 and b) Alabama ranks 50th out of 51 states (plus DC, which is last) in high school math scores, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 925-950 is a pretty accurate guess. In fact, I'd bet money on it. I don't know what or who you're arguing on behalf of at this point. Why do you even care about the academic performance of the team's football players?

In addition to proving that Alabama is an excellent academic institution that serves both elite students (75th percentile ACT of 32, 40% of students having a ACT greater than 30) and non-elite students, I have been quite clear about Rosen: He has no clue what he is talking about, and if he wasn't good at throwing a ball, no one would care what he had to say. I think the greatest college coach of all time has it right: "We've had 23, 29, and 22 guys (over the last three years) play in their last game here - which is a playoff game or a championship game - with a college degree," Saban told ESPN. "Now regardless of what those guys' ACT score was, or SAT score, they had an opportunity that they took advantage of that's going to be a great deposit or investment for their future. They're going to have a better life because they had an opportunity to go to college." Can you please explain what you mean by "knuckle dragger"? I am very curious.

They use kids up and spit them out and they don't give a crap about the kids on the team who aren't all that good. Snake oil salesmen all of them. Rosen is right. Look at the way Jim Mora is talking...POS. Brian Kelly threw Kizer under the bus last year. He had no reason to do that other than being a POS. They use kids for their own benefit and the majority of the kids get nothing out of it, except a free education that they usually can't finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is it’s a great school for kids in Alabama, which is one of the worst academic states in the country. They will basically get in any recruit they want. I think Carson Palmer got rejected by Notre Dame back in the day. That said, where you go to school is overrated. It’s about getting connections and working hard once you get an opportunity.

No one outside of Alabama thinks of the University of Alabama as an academic university. It is currently ranked 110 in the country, which is actually higher than I thought (UCLA is 21). Alabama is also ranked 47 in education as a state. Be be happy you have a great football team but in terms of education, at least you’re better than Mississippi!!! Top students from all over the country feel differently. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-illinois-students-brain-drain-20180405-story.html http://www.businessinsider.com/ronald-nelson-turned-down-every-ivy-league-school-for-university-of-alabama-2015-5 https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/education/edlife/survival-strategies-for-public-universities.html Edited April 12, 2018 by Sky Diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
