[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without the family who took Michael Oher into their home, Mr. Oher may have never played pro football. His gpa was way too low for NCAA requirement and the family got him 20 hours of tutoring per week. Oher took correspondence courses from BYU to raise his gpa and allow him to play NCAA football at Ole Miss.

Not trying to praise or criticize anyone, but there is always at least two sides to every story.

Also, many ex football players experience depression as a result of having suffered multiple concussions. I wonder if this is a factor in this matter.[/quote]

He was already playing football. He met the family because he was in PREP school with their kids. He was not dumb. He was just in a bad family situation.[/quote]

He had a huge GPA problem.[/quote]

Don’t colleges know how to work with prospective recruits with low GPA? [/quote]

Never heard of that at the high school level.[/quote]

Travel teams/private coaches usually help with that.  [/quote]
