<p>“Even though Mich/Cal have fairly high academic standards, but when it comes to athletes, the admission standard is pretty loose for them.”</p>
<p>You don’t think UVa lowers it’s academic standards for it’s athletes? What world are you living in? I happen to know for a fact 2 football players in the class of '09 who had 76 gpas in high school, and 700 and 900 on their SATs. Don’t think we’re any better than Cal/Mich in that way. If UVa recruited players with crappy scores who were actually good, then I wouldn’t see a problem with it - but to lower academic standards for people who don’t bring any success to the team…I find that disgraceful. While you all talk about improving the football program to help increase our school stature, its ironic that when our football team sucked in the 80s, we were ranked about 6 spots higher than we are now.</p>
