Why do star athletes like Derrick Rose have to pass the SAT?

Because government doesn't wanna pay for his ass if he makes an accident, breaks his leg and never plays again.

Exactly, this dude prolly cheated his way through elementary school to even graduate the 4th grade but he's a great athlete so he's going to have every top college basketball program takin him out to dinner and beggin him to come play one year for them before he turns pro, it has nothing to do with thinkin hed be a good student, if you want to see good students play basketball turn on Dartmouth and Brown, if you want to see monkeys that can jump and run turn on Syracuse and Kentucky

Its a requirement to go to college. He can refuse to take it and play professionally somewhere other than the NBA, thats what I would do if I was that good.

What does it matter if he can do anything but play ball?? Why do we care? he has a God given talent. I think he is smart to put all his eggs in that basket. There are guys out here with college degrees that can't get jobs. What do we care. He is doing what he is destined to do in my opinion.

Foreign players don't have to take the SAT or go to college. It's a NCAA requirement to take the SAT. If they let everyone go to college they might as well let the retards go despite not having athletic abilities.

who cares its not a big deal, everyone is born with strengths and weaknesses, funny thing is his strength makes him one of the richer people in the united states

If he doesn't want to cheat the system, go to Europe and come back after a year.

Like most athletes, it's easier to cheat than to figure out a way to their problems.

CarpeDime · 02-16-10, 03:19 AM

20Four7 · 02-16-10, 03:31 AM

You would figure the school would pay for a tutor or something to teach him the test.

i think that was brandon jennings, right?

wtf???? dude when i was in high school a million people used to get paid to take the tests for other kids. sats achievement tests all that sh*t.

white nerds were the main ones who did it cause it was the rich white dudes who wanted to go to harvard but only had like 1150s but had extra Gs laying around to throw at some nerd to fukin blast that into the upper 1300s. i remember theyd even tell the nerds not to go too high so as not to arowse suspiscion.

i felt bad for the chinese kids cause they were poor and smart and they wanted to do it but you had to have believable fake IDs and you couldnt have some dude who's name was obviously ching ching bong ching chong with a ID that said his name was Anderson Rutherford or some sh*t like that. and of course for the most part the chinese dudes couldnt take it for other chinese dudes cause first of all those other chinese dudes didnt have any money and second of all could probably do ok on there own anyway.

but COMMON! this is america! you cheat! and ESPECIALLY if your rich! this is insane. they couldnt find some brother and work up some top-notch fake id and get the kid a fukin 900 or whatever he needed? for chrissake its so easy!

Memphis had to vacate 2 years of wins and are on probation bc some idiots apparently dont want to accept this and take academic eligibility violations very seriously hell what if Memphis had held on to that 9 pt lead with 2 mins left in the nat championship they would have had to vacate their only national championship just bc Rose is an idiot, academic eligibility rules make no sense especially regarding star athletes, sports has nothing to do with academics

Rose is just flat out dumb as a rock, they prolly tutored him first and saw where that was goin so the tutor just ended up takin the test for him

bookie · 02-16-10, 01:30 PM

prolly so.
