The Front Row

Leave AJ Green out of this! He is saving my Bengals one catch at a time!

Pryor's 7 thinks that is bad. Some of these guys don't take this serious and that is why the low score, but isn't it multiple choice? My 2 1/2 year old could get a four coloring in circles.

I'm actually stunned shocked and sitting here in disbelief!!!!!!!!!! Somebody should post this on the Blew Board for the rest of those F_ck Bubbles to read. Be prepared to get banned though for hating on the S.E. Sleaze.

If the reason they score so low is because they don't take it seriously then they are even more idiotic than their low scores indicate. Teams are always looking for ways to seperate players that they project as being equally talented on the field. Millions of dollars have been made and lost due these scores. If you have two WR's even on your draft board and one scores a 23 and the other scores a 12 on the Wonderlic, who are you gonna choose - the guy that has shown the aptitide to learn or the guy who shows he either isn't very bright or doesn't care enough to try and do well on a test given by his future employer?

Have you ever heard an SEC player in a post game interview or press conference?

Yes, I am generalizing, but the results are an embarrassment to college sports. Many of these kids are only marginally literate. And that is no exaggeration.

I am not saying that every B1G football player is going to be splitting the atom in his spare time, but they are Rhodes scholars to as compared to the kids typically playing in the south or the SEC to be exact.

I call it the Sauage Egg n Cheese. I think it's funny that the SEC has a lot of good teams which are in the south, but all of the good NFL teams are in the north. You can't avoid cold weather if you wanna play for a good team in the NFL i.e. New England, Green Bay, New York Giants, Pittsburgh, Denver, Chicago, Detroit didnt do too bad last year, Baltimore, Indianapolis (before Mannings injury) and as few more. I just think thats funny.

Seems like he outran his brain.

The SEC is just win baby, its not cheating until your caught! Wasn't Anthony Carter at Michigan illiterate? I saw somewhere that he couldn't read. How do you get through Michigan not being able to read? Does someone take your tests for you???

I don't doubt this at all.

Rumors were.....that the last minute "hold up" in Meyer's contract signing was that very issue....academic requirements....or the lowering thereof.
I don't want to start a sh*t storm here regarding innuendo or imply that tOSU has agreed to lower its standards, but, hey, those were the rumors.

Meyer isn't stupid. He knows that the string of SEC championships is no fluke as it relates to academic standards or the lack thereof, at least by comparison to other schools. If he could have gotten the Admin to look the other way for even two kids per season, he is taking a step closer to closing the talent gap between the B1G and the SEC. And that gap remains cavernous at least conference to conference.

Yes, Stanford has proven that you can have high academic standards and still win (but not NCs). But the teams are few and far between. Ask Tyrone Willingham about his experience at ND if you need further proof.

I have no problem with guys leaving early to get paid - if you have the oppurtunity and it best fits you or your family then go for it. I also believe happiness comes from within and money and brains have nothing to do with it. My problem is with the Universities that these guys play for. How are they academically elgible to play? If they are scoring this low on a basic intelligence test how are they staying in school and staying elgible for 3-4 years. My guess is the University provided tutors do the work for them and when they are forced to take a test without the "help" of a tutor, they are exposed.

Does it really matter if he is that smart since he plays football? Football players not being the brightest is one stereotype that is overwhelmingly true.
