Oh Jesus Fn Christ...


quote:

An NCAA task force recommended on Friday that incoming freshmen in Division I and II sports should no longer be required to meet minimum scores on standardized tests for initial eligibility.

The recommendation was made by the NCAA Standardized Test Score Task Force, which was formed as part of the NCAA's eight-point plan to advance racial equity. The Division I Committee on Academics and Division II Academic Requirements Committee will consider the recommendation at their next scheduled meetings in February. Changes to initial-eligibility requirements would also have to be reviewed and made through each division's legislative process.

"This work reflects the NCAA's commitment to continually reviewing our academic standards based on the best available data and other relevant information," task force chairman David Wilson, president at Morgan State, said in an NCAA release. "We are observing a national trend in NCAA member schools moving away from requiring standardized test scores for admissions purposes and this recommendation for athletics eligibility aligns directly with that movement."

The 5 Stars are going where they want even if they don’t meet the minimum.

I’m fine with that if it means better players come play for us.
We need all the help we can get

In today’s edition of the woke and the white supremacist saying the exact same thing, we discuss how both believe black people are too dumb to go to college.

I'm not sure what good more recruits does if they're academically ineligible after a year

The test score bar is so comically low, removing it just delays the inevitable

Yea, never worry about how someone made a 12,12,14,12, then a 26 on their ACT.

Cardel Jones made an NFL roster for four seasons and played one season in the CFL. Already out of football.

I hope he at least went to enough classes to understand finances so he didn’t piss away his four years of really good money-making. Maybe he’ll use some of that to go back to school to help make himself marketable in the business world?

Genuinely confused how this is "equity" and not "racist"

Looking at his recent tweets he's helping people with NIL stuff, I think he's doing ok.

Weren’t minimum scores already low for this reason?

It’s a shame they think all blacks perform poorly on standardized tests.

Ah yes, the classic Progressive's racism of low expectations.

Solid work, WOKE Folk.

I can’t understand why black people aren’t insulted by this shite. Well, I guess I can.
