[NU Sports] 4th Quarter

NO!

I love football as much as anyone, but if it involves lessening the standards "further" you will get no support from me.  If we become a JUCO haven or Miami(FL)/SouthernCal I would rather DROP football.

There are very, very few places like Northwestern that compete both on the highest academic and athletic levels.  To water this down is a disservice to every alum.

If you are interested in improving the team by "cheating" please look to another university or a professional team for your football fix.

I say its time to gradually relax admissions standards, while stepping up academic support services to help ensure those admitted will graduate.  If our graduation rates fall from 98-100% down to 85-90%, so be it--at least we'll be putting a little more talent on the field on Saturdays.
