DKW 86 7,429 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 "Fuzzy math" of the Hoover Report, Part I -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +++++++ "On Tuesday, May 30th, the day after Memorial Day, Terri Borie, the Peer Helping Coordinator at HHS , received a call at home on her cell phone from University of Alabama Assistant Football Coach Kevin Steele. Steele told Borie that he had learned from University athletic department personnel that STUDENT #1 was “seven one thousandths†of a point below the core-course GPA required for NCAA eligibility.... From our examination, it appears to have been .07 (not .007) of a QPA short. There is no suggestion that the Alabama representative was asking for any change in STUDENT #1’s grades. (Yeah, right. Then why did he call her, to tell her Chapman wasn't going to play at Alabama?) This was startling and shocking news to all of them because this student (who had passed all courses and had a school GPA going into his senior year of 2.66) had not been viewed as “at risk.†"..., it was apparent that he needed to raise his GPA in core classes to meet the minimum required by the NCAA (2.0)...." +++++++ So, how could a student drop from a 2.66 GPA to 1.99 in a year and be ineligible? He means "to play HS ball" folks... Assume (and I know nothing of this school's grading system, or any other for that matter) this is a 4-year High School (Martin was the "9th Grade Asst. Principal," so that would be 9, 10,11,and 12th grades). If 1/4 of the work was done the Senior year (again I don't know for a fact at all, just estimating), then to drop from 2.66 to 1.99 he would have gotten NO QUALITY POINTS HIS SENIOR YEAR: 1.99 x 4 years = 7.96 minimum cumulative requirement 2.66 x 3 years + 0 4th year = 7.98 Since we know they were trying to pull a B up to an A, he would have had those quality points at least. Something is fishy here. It is my math, or theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone BG's participation here. well, we were around before this edition of aunation that you see the dates of 2003. Those registrations in 2003 are the result of the move to a new server. We used to be War Eagle Nation. BG's obsession of Auburn goes back to when he was a student at uat and was posting as BS (B***Student) I refuse to type those 4 letters together for what they represent, thus the *'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
