PREACH BROTHA!
Why can’t they figure this chit out! As an example: I was actually accepted to go to SC in 1999, but couldn’t/didn’t want to pay that high *** student loan. At that time, SC absolutely sucked as a program; if u had the GPA & SAT score, although it was a challenge, u could still get in. Well my ex, who’s a few yrs younger, came in 2003, and it was a waiting list from L.A to Boston to get accepted to USC. Truth be told, she only got in b/c her God-father is Ronnie Lott. The difference between our applications? When I applied, SC sucked; when she applied, SC became a power again. Coincidence? Of course not.
It’s a direct correlation that if ur athletics are good, applications from students swell. It’s not rocket science, yet somehow, we’re the only ones that know this fact here on C.I.S compared to the admin. It’s maddening!!
