It's because all of us are actual alums and many with some type of secondary education and all pretty reasonable people.
We're not the "sidewalk alumni" railing at the top of our lungs on sports talk radio "WHADDA MEAN WE CAIN'T GET BILL COWER TO COME COACH UP OUR O-LINE???"
Fuck you too.

Buckeyes are best

Please. You obviously didn't watch a lot of Tresselball to make that kind of simplistic statement. OSU was up 28-10 at the half, which means it's foot-off-the-gas-pedal, run-the-clock-out time. Did you maybe notice how the run/pass % changed dramatically in the second half? 25 runs, 6 passes, that's how JT rolled when he knew the game was over early.
Even with an exciting comeback that got us on the edge of our seats, OSU still dominated your guys in yards/play, and Arky never even got past our 1st-half score. Hey, I'm glad a closer final score makes you feel good, but that game really wasn't that close.

The SEC Media Days are streaming live.
Watch in stunned silence as the coaches dodge questions about oversigning
Cream yourself over the trashtalk of 19 year old idiots in the LiveChat. These are the [censored]ers that couldn't point to Columbus, OH on a map, but are certain that your coaches suck and your players are slow.
Marvel how Steve Spurrier will speak for almost 20 minutes and say absolutely nothing!

Slive says they may try to increase academic standards for admission into SEC schools. 2.0 GPA to 2.5 GPA, borderline qualifiers may not contribute for 1st year on campus, yadayadayada.
Other than the SEC coaches, I have a hard time imagining why people would be against that. I'd imagine most fans of a school (emphasis on the school part, not the football team) would be supportive of more rigid admission/academic requirements.
Obviously, that would eliminate some of the need for oversigning but may also eliminate some of the higher end football talents that never really satisfy the student half to the equation. Not to pick on him exclusively, but a guy like Jadaveon Clowney would have to sit out his 1st year with these standards. I think its a good idea in general, but its going to have mixed effects for the SEC. Eliminates some issues with borderline quals, while making other issues with new recruiting tactics, possibly less competitiveness for a school like Ole Miss or South Carolina who depend on the borderline quals that others have to refuse.
Of course, Slive wants to make this a National Standard like his oversigning legislation so the SEC isn't docking itself unfairly. I don't think a lot of non-SEC schools are realistically competing for some of these 4-and 5-star recruit academic borderlines though so I'm not sure he really needs to make it national.

I like it too. I just hope that the Universities offer some flexibility in the admissions process. A young man with a 2.7 and an athletic scholarship waiting in the wings should be given more leeway on his ACT/SAT scores for admission.
Better your GPA, less important your standardized test score need be.
