According to today's NY Times article on the lawsuit against Georgia:
"Athletes in football and basketball needed only a 400 S.A.T. score and
the 2.0 grade-point average."

That 400 is a TOTAL score, which is pretty amusing, since the minimum
is 200.  Pretty stringent requirements, don't you think????


Also, the University President said:
"....Georgia would not raise its standards unless its opponents did.
Georgia could not afford to 'disarm unilaterally'...."

Note that 200 is the minimum score on EACH PART (of 2) of the SAT test.
Thus, the minimum TOTAL score is 400 -- and that's jst being able to
spell your name right!  

It is worth noting here that I am not from this state and am therefore
not as embarassed as the rest of the "rednecks" that graduated from that
cow-college across the state from me!  :-) :-)

200 is the minimun one can get from either the verbal or math part (if I 
remember correctly, it was a while back), so if I hand in a blank exam, then
I automatically get 400 total points.

Admission standard is not as important as graduation standard.  Maybe
ALL students (not just athletes) should pass a national proficiency exam
to get a BA or BS.  (Oh no, not another FOUR YEARS !!!)
