    If anything, I'd suspect that SC would have a greater imbalance between the diversity of its football team compared to the rest of the student population. ND has struggled in recent years as it hasn't been getting enough black playmakers. The university does not and will not bend its application criteria to accept players only because they can play football.

    I should really charge you for helping to get you on the path of FACTS. Just a few years ago, nd's underaduate population included just 3.3% African Americans while the football team in 2004 had 34 black players. Graduating students reported they were much less satisfied than their peers with the lack of diversity among faculty and also with skill enhancement relative to relating well to people of different ethnicities. And this from your own Rev Malloy:

    "It is true that we admit some promising athletes who would not gain admission on their academic credentials alone."

    Is your last name really Hornung? Did you graduate from your beloved nd? Cause it seems like you don't relate so well to people either and the university's own data support that fact.

    Either that or Paul Hornung. In all fairness to bitter, USC's black undergrad population has hit an all time high of 8% but has fallen recently. However, according to Katherine Harrington our Dean of Admissions:

    "With average SATs for the incoming class this year at 1364, the competition is fierce.....it is important to realize that out of the top 30 universities in this country - public and private - only Stanford has a higher percentage of underrepresented minorities than USC has on campus."

    So bitter can either admit that USC does better with undergrad diversity OR nd isn't in the top 30 universities in the country. :rofl:

    Heh, heh. Okay, my bad. I guess I still can't wrap my head around Quinn saying that, and my brain just flipped it around. You know, between this and those photos and interview taken by those gays, I'd be more worried about him if he wasn't such a good kid from a good family.

    :hihi: So you admit it..To tell you the truth, I have nothing against Quinn, he's just in the wrong time where we have our own competing.
    Quinn is a quite good QB that may make it in the NFL but has as much of a bust potential as anyone. He just needs to land on the right team and keep his head straight.

    I disagree. I think Quinn is more polished and NFL ready than any other QB out there, and so he's less of bust potential. JR has a bigger ceiling because he's more bigger and more athletic, but I think he also needs to learn more about how to be a QB and thus JR has more potential to be a bust. He's relied so much on his athletic ability, but in the NFL, everybody will be that athletic. In a lot of ways, Quinn reminds me of Peyton Manning. Both are really smart QBs, who didn't win the Big Game until Manning won it this year.

    Or, how about this: USC is a second tier school in terms of undergrad academics. How many blacks does UCLA or UCBerkley have again, schools that superior to SC academically? I don't know why anybody would pay so much money to get a second rate education? Why would anybody want to pay so much in tuition to go to a ghetto school? Why not a lot less money to go to a UC School, which is cheaper as well as academically superior.

    Those SAT scores would actually sound impressive if the SAT hadn't been recalibrated in recent years.
