[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The data doesn’t show they are unqualified. Try again.

“The Academic Index (AI) is used by Ivy League schools to ensure that athletes are not admitted with significantly lower academic qualifications than the general student population. The index is based on GPA, SAT/ACT tests scores, and SAT Subject test scores. [b]All athletes must have at least a 176 to play at any of the “Ancient Eight” schools… [/b]no team at an Ivy League school may have an average AI of more than one standard deviation below the average AI of all students at the college.“[/quote]

This is actually funny.  There are the rules and there are ways to work around the rules.  The schools have to put out something but no one knows if the rules are actually being followed.

It reminds me of my employer's company policy that I can not hire or supervise anyone related to me  due to favoritism or nepotism; however, it is completely legit for me to hire my neighbor or their kids even though they might not qualified for the job but since I have the final say in the hiring process, it is completely legal.
