I am not normally a conspiracy theory person because many times I have a difficult time jumping from A to S by skipping the intervening letters. This case, however, does intrigue me. We have a young man who has been through hell and back in his life, who sustains what many people thought could be a career ending injury as a result of an auto accident, who is supported in his rehab attempt solely by
OSU for all practical purposes, who reaches a point where he is now ready to participate in track, and who is conveniently visiting Raleigh on account of an error committed by his high school. What bothers me about the high school is that out of the blue appears this top 50% of the class admissions criteria that is only mentioned in the FL press - not in official
OSU documents. And, as everybody is aware of,
OSU cannot comment on any aspect of this adventure. I smell a rat in Raleigh with contacts in FL. I know mistakes are made - this happened last year to Ira Guilford - but Guilford and his associates in NJ did not come out of the blue with some wild admissions criteria to justify an anger at a university that becomes a convenient excuse to attend another university. Just my thoughts.
EDIT:
Based on the latest edition of the Palm Beach Post, I should continue to refrain from subscribing to conspiracy theories. It appears from this new article that Ohio State admissions has once again decided that Morgan should not be admitted to
OSU based on the fact that he is not in the top 50% of his high school class. Something isn't right here - there is nothing in the formal written admissions criteria requiring a high school student to be in the top 50% of the high school class. Hopefully somebody at
OSU will address this issue.
