UGA athletics admissions
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
UGA president Michael Adams said Wednesday that while he takes some responsibility for paltry graduation rates for some athletes, the university will continue to admit athletes who don’t meet its regular admissions requirements.
“We still have to compete in the SEC,” said Adams, a former member of the Knight Commission, which has pressed for higher academic standards and practices in intercollegiate athletics.
Is Adams trying to have it both ways? Or does he face a common dilemma of presidents at universities with major, multimillion-dollar revenue producing athletics programs: Trying to find a balance between ball games and books?
Do you agree with him, or not?
