Yep, he will have to go to a Junior College and then his recruitment will start over again.

Four years ago when I was applying to OU you had to have like a 24 on the act, I think it might be 26 now. I don't know about GPA.

Do football players have to meet the same requirements? (Or any scholarship athletes, for that matter.) Wouldn't part of the presupposition be that if you want a well-rounded student body, you accept incoming students who excel in a given area, even if they are somewhat deficient in another area?

Just curious, as I know next to nothing about this part of the college football universe.

Been a while since I had to think about ACT but isn't 26 kinda high?

26 was the requirement for automatic admission for out of state students, not the minimum to be accepted, at least it was when I applied for the 2004 school year. 24 was the requirement for automatic admission for in state students, but I don't know what the bare minimum for enrollment is.

This is correct. ACT requirement for regular admission and not automatic admission has to be much lower. Whatever the requirement is, if the student meets that, it would be at the admissions department's discretion. For a football player, I am sure that he wasn't even sniffing the actual requirement. He probably wouldn't make it in his classes at OU anyway.

This is not going to be that big of a deal because he may have needed to gain some weight and he would of needed a couple of years to get to where he needs to be anyways. I just hope we pick him up after JC if he still wants to be a Sooner.

football players have to adhere to a much lower admissions standard. i believe it is a 2.0 and 16 on the ACT.

I think it's good news that he's the only one that didn't qualify. Everyone else in the class is enrolled.

Yup, if you only lose one, and one of the lesser heralded ones at that, that's good.

I thought athletes had to get a 19 and they would qualify.

In this day and age of the interweb, why can't we have smart people take these pesky tests for them. I mean what does any of it have to do with how they will perform on the field?

IMO I think he winds up at a place like TCU or Tulsa. He needs to gain major weight before getting another crack @ a D-1 scholarship. Good athlete, but underweight for a major college DE.

Talk about score inflation... I remember when a 21/22 was like genius level...I got a 1050 on the SAT and was automatically admitted as an out of stater to OU back in the day... 1050 today would say you signed your name...:eek:

One has to wonder what Vince did score on the ACT; wonder if he got out of single digits?

You can get an 840 just filling in cutesy patterns.
