[QUOTE="weeds, post: 1013045, member: 39"] Woodrow Wilson, as President of Princeton University said something to the effect of, and I'm paraphrasing here ... "Honor and acknowledge your A-students because they will come back and be your faculty. Honor and acknowledge your C-students because they will come back and build you a dormitory." Hell, I couldn't find any real attribution to that ... I could be making it up ... but, I'm not that creative. The second excerpt from your post ... I can tell you that's kind of the way it is. Even though it was D-3, I went back as a non-traditional student 3 years after high school - had to pay my way through so 3 years at Ariens and Universal Foundry for ol' Weeds. Surprisingly enough, I tested pretty well on the SAT's and ACT's, but still, because I gave ball one more shot and found out I wasn't talented enough, I always felt like I was being treated as a "pretender" academically - that "jock" thing reattached quickly. Until I started tutoring the same guys that I couldn't beat out athletically during second semester. A very unique perspective. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. [/QUOTE]
