Larry Brown Sports asks the appropriate question -- South Carolina has academic standards?Head Ball Coach isn't pleased with the university's administration process, as a result of two recuits being rejected by admissions.
“As long as I’m the coach here, we’re going to take guys that qualify,” Spurrier said. “If not, then I have to go somewhere else because I can’t tell a young man, ‘You’re coming to school here,’ he qualifies, and not do that. And we did that this year.”
“I’ve got to apologize to two young men that we recruited. They qualified. They signed with us in February. They were denied admission to our school,” Spurrier said. “Personally, I don’t think that’s the way you do business. I’m embarrassed that I and our coaches basically misled these young men into believing they were coming here.”
I understand Steve's beef here to an extent, but you'd at least like your football coach to pretend that academics matter. I know that they don't in big time athletics, but just for the sake of those that do attend the school for an education, just play along.
