Is Saban seriously criticizing the admissions standards of other schools?

UATrewqaz · #**462** 10-02-2007, 07:57 PM

What Saban is saying is pretty accurate, there are lots of players who can't get into big time schools cuz of grades (yes, there are some players THAT dumb they can't manage the minimum for athletes on the SAT/ACT)

These players typically end up at JUCO schools and at that point alot of big schools don't ahve scholarships for them andt hey end up at the South Florida's or Souther Miss's of the world, one of the major reasons these schools can field decent teams from time to time.

South Florida's star RB (Mike Ford) is a prime example and most likely the person to whom Saban is indirectly referring to. He was set to go to Alabama and bad academics kept him from qualifying.

I wonder if you guys would be saying this if Florida had beaten Auburn this weekend?

Actually, I was saying that about two weeks ago (discount it as you will since I didn't say it here in writing that I can point to). FWIW, I bet the farm on Aubie +18.

UK/USC tonight at 7:30 - winner could be the East rep in the title game; interesting as no team other than UGA/UT/UF has ever been the East winner. Also, UK has never beaten Spurrier, although the Ol' Ball Coach is 1-4 at home against ranked teams (and has lost his last 4).

I'm looking forward to this game tonite. A lot. After I get off work I'm ordering a pizza to pick up on the saw back home, and enjoy this.

I think both of these teams are legit top ten teams right now.

I wasnt sure if Id ever say this in my lifetime, but I'm looking forward to the UK/USC matchup. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Good to see the young fellas like Matthews and Norwood stepping up on D.
