You'd think in today's world most schools would be able to align with nfl measuring/testing methods. Is it done on purpose to hype players with inaccurate numbers?

It's usually the 40 yard dash that gets embellished by colleges. Maybe it's due to being hand timed but I think schools are always trying to pump sunshine with their players.

FSU and VT in the 90s were horrible. I would joke about VT players running their 40 down the side of a mountain.

All schools flat out lie about their players height.

It's like wrestling - they're one step away from billing the players "from parts unknown".

For the same reason a lot of women think 8” is a foot.

Seeing as how football is becoming as scripted as wrestling, your analogy is perfect.

Colleges lie on their rosters all the time.
