re: Jameis Winston regrets playing at Florida State

Auburn quarterback Cam Newton was facing possible expulsion from the University of Florida for academic cheating when he transferred to junior college in the spring of 2009,

Newton, a Heisman Trophy front-runner, is said to have been caught cheating three times, including putting his name on someone else's paper without that student's knowledge.

Newton was caught after the instructor asked the real author of the paper why he had not turned in his work.

Newton turned in a second paper to the instructor, but that paper was later found to have been purchased off the Internet, according to FoxSports.com. He was to appear for a hearing in front of Florida's Student Conduct Committee during the spring semester of 2009 but instead transferred to Blinn Colleg

You were not joking. You crawfish EVERYTIME you get called out.

getting called out for saying a kid that got into FSU couldn't get into Ole Miess they accept 16 ACT scores

We all know football players have it easy with academics in college

High school GPAs are close to meaningless if used to prove someone's intelligence.

You could say the same for standardized testing as well, especially if you don't test well.

Either way, he was supposedly (per the article) one of the top kids in his class. And Stanford was definitely recruiting him and they're not going to bother with a kid who isn't going to come close to qualifying IMO. So I don't think he's dumb as a box of rocks. I've definitely met some "book smart" kids in my time working in education that did some really dumb shite outside of the classroom.

When Winston was 10, he learned what a podiatrist was. He'd been in the car on trips to the foot doctor with his family. He saw how diabetes affected their feet. He wanted to grow up not to be Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, but to fix feet. Then he lived it. Winston carries a 4.0 grade-point average and is one of the top students in his class. He'll major in biology in college on the path to that medical degree.

"There were three college coaches there that came to see me play," Winston said. "One coach from Stanford came all the way from California. I regret that ever happened because I was embarrassed that night by letting my team down and with those coaches there to see that."

He's made idiotic choices regardless how he tested in high school.

Didn't he score about the same as Peyton Manning on the wonderlic?

Not saying he is Stanford material but I think people generally underestimate him
