The NCAA Standardized Test Task Force recommended that high school students preparing to compete in Division I or Division II sports should not have to submit SAT or ACT scores."This work reflects the NCAA's commitment to continually reviewing our academic standards based on the best available data and other relevant information," said Morgan State President David Wilson, who led a group of representatives in both divisions in carrying out a nearly six month project on the matter. "We are observing a national trend in NCAA member schools moving away from requiring standardized test scores for admissions purposes and

Ya know, the main benefit to having standards, a target to reach? It's not to always hit the bullseye, it is to stop people from being "Aimless".

It is far more important in one’s young life to dribble a ball and court concussions than learning to read and communicate beyond “I be woke”, do math in excess of ten fingers and toes, and not be a brain dead commicrat upon learning at adulthood that being stupid is the same as being dead while wasting space.

Even if they get rid of the ACT and SAT and let everyone into college, the only way they (and I mean anyone - no color needed) could pass the courses if everyone is guaranteed a passing grade. Would you want to be treated by a doctor that got his/her grades that way? Would you trust an engineer to build your building that got his/her grades that way?? Not me.
Let's not even talk about the fact that a very high percentage of people shouldn't go to college but maybe a trade school.

Breaking news: In an effort to bring diversity and equity to the cockpit, the FAA has eliminated all testing for commercial pilots and the only criterion for licensure will be the ability to rap through a one-hour flight.

Translated, that means "we admit black people are too stupid to compete on a level playing field, so we will eliminate the field."

No problem. Just let them in. They won't be able to do college work but that won't matter. They will get a degree anyway. They won't be employable above manual labor but no big deal. Since they are black we will just give them an extra check to make ends meet.
They really don't understand that they are simply keeping blacks from attaining self-respect and needed skills to compete in the marketplace but maybe they do. Like importing millions of poor, uneducated people who will live off welfare for the reat of their lives and vote Dem forever.

As a practical matter, the SAT score of a lot of Division 1 recruits are so ridiculous that abolishing the test requirement doesn't really make a lot of difference.

The NCAA has tried to perpetuate the myth of the student-athlete. But now the NCAA has been pushed into the position of approving
pay for student athletes, going to class is not too important.
But if they go to school, you will find most athletes major in family studies, recreation, or sociology. (there are exceptions to that, but not many.)

Hey, let's just "be real". Tier 1 college athletes should be paid, with lots of bonuses and freebies. They shouldn't have to attend any classes. They play for 4 years, and get an "honorary" degree for their service to the university.
According to the NCAA, they are professional athletes, only attending college to play sports. They don't have to be smart -- just dumb, strong and fast.
I thought the NCAA was supposed to be about keeping the integrity of the college experience. What a joke!!!
And FJB -- though that doesn't really have anything to do with this story, it just feels good to write it!!!

Why bother to get rid of these tests? All the low lives will quit before the end of the first semester and the demonrats in congress will forego all the money they borrowed.

No, it's because some people are dumber than posts. That's the whole reason for testing.

For "racial equity" shouldn't the races of the team's players match their percentage of the population?

This is just another way for Colleges to get a bigger slice of the 'big money' pie that College Athletics has become. The kids are the ones who are hurt in the end, because the overwhelming majority of them do not get an education that leads to a career, and there's only one LeBron. If you get my point.
If you really want to solve the problem, you could tie compensation of Coaches and Administrators responsible for overseeing Athletics to meaningful education goals. Anyone can get a degree in playground management if they show up. (Not saying that PM is not an honorable job, or the people who do that job are less then others).
There's too much money involved, and when that's the case there will be cheating and corruption

I'll listen to the experts in the NCAA when their sports teams reflect the "diversity" of their student body.
If it's good for the academics it must be good for the sports teams.

Racial Equity is Systemic Racism against Asians and European-Americans.
Clearly, the left's bigotry extends to of-colors, whom the left believes are incapable of acting in civilized ways, incapable of accepting personal responsibility, incapable of competing on a truly level playing field.
