Sky Diver Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 You are assessing the academics at UA based on US News and and a skit on Saturday Night Live? Alabama isn't an Ivy League school and doesn't attempt to be. It's a large state flagship university that educates a broad range of students with varying levels of academic ability. For elite students, there is the honors college, the Randall Research Scholars Program, the University Fellows Program, the Blount Scholars Program, an Accelerated Masters program, etc.There are plenty of smart kids at Alabama evidenced by the 75th percentile ACT score. Arguably students have more opportunities at Alabama than they would have at an elite school. Somehow I don't think i am going to be able to get through to you. You are mesmerized by US News and institutional branding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Diver Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) To think that the university and the players don’t care about academics is ridiculous. Edited September 2, 2018 by Sky Diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now GM's of the Bills will stop going after other teams backups in hoping they can be a starter. worked for the Saints, Packers, Buccaneers, Broncos, Washington a couple of times, Giants, Cadinals, Seahawks, Falcons, Vikings, Raiders. all got to or won SB with other teams cast off QBs. leave no stone unturned i say.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 This topic appears to have been diverted into off-topic discussion of colleges, particularly U of A, therefore the discussion has been closed. Please discuss college football and college academics as related to college football in the College Football forum. Thank you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
