Another USC signee, linebacker Glen Stanley, is reportedly trying to get out of his commitment, as well. That would leave the Trojans with five scholarships to give before aggressive NCAA sanctions go into effect next year, slashing available slots by up to 40 percent. Mid-year transfers, hello? [L.A. Daily News]

If he gets released do you think he will have any intrest in tennessee?

Can you blame him? I say if he is a top recruit then we should try. If for pay backs no, its getting old dropping to his level. We're better class team and fans lets get over him because all were doing is given him more power over us. Let the beast die and fade away.

I don't care if its for revenge or not. If he can play get him here. Lane can suck it, he brought it on himself. Do I blame the guy for taking his dream job? Not in the least bit, but leaving after a year was Bush League. Old news, I know.

lol man i can not figure out why ppl are sayin this. glen stanley got into USC. USC requires a HIGHER ACT and a HIGHER college entrance exam score to enroll in college there. how do you think he is on the team there if he's so dumb? he scored high enough on both and enrolled at USC, so how is it exactly he isn't smart enough to get in here? that's twice i've read you saying that but neither time you have showed any facts to back it up. my facts are that he IS enrolled at USC which most ppl know requires higher scores. that's why you always hear ppl say "USC is a great academic school" and/or stuff of that nature....

No one is saying that Stanley is dumb. The SEC requires extra math that he did not have.

There's a math class that the SEC requires of JUCO transfers that no other conference does. As Justin said, he didn't meet academic requirements.

USC is also a private school that could likely bend academic reqirements to fit their needs. Athletes are often accepted at universities with scores that would be laughed at if a normal student applied with them. But that isn't the issue anyway...

I 100% guarantee you that USC has higher academic standards than all but a few SEC teams. hell i know for a fact they are higher than every pac-10 team, but stanford, cal, or ucla. carroll actually had a pretty good graduation rate there too. that isn't to say that they don't let in idiots like the rest of the country, but they definetly do turn down top players who are idiots. burfict (currently at ASU and on many preseason all american lists) is an example of this.

He's not coming here. It's the JUCO extra math class for one, and I think he would rather end up back closer to home if he can't be a part of USC. I think he'll end up somewhere like UCF who he was committed to previously.

Here is the Higher Requirements that you speak of straight from the USC admissions site:

'There is no minimum requirement or absolute "cutoff" for grades, class rank or test scores. USC evaluates prospective students through an individualized, comprehensive review process that takes these, and many other factors, into account.'

Here is UTK's statement:
'The University of Tennessee has a competitive admissions process. Students are considered for admission based largely on their academic performance and credentials, together with additional factors that demonstrate likelihood of success in college.'

USC is private and can do what it wants. UTK is not and has standards it by law has to adhere to.

In other words, your bolded statement above is pretty much an unsubstantiated assertion on your part - i.e. it is your perception.

All that has absolutely nothing to do with the reason Stanley can't get in here

APR is about 6 yr graduation rate not admissions. They're are lots of reasons that people choose to leave a school and go elsewhere.

I can follow up with this tidbit of info from the respective schools sites based on directly comparable standards:

UTs last class they have data for:

"The middle 50 percent of the fall 2008 admitted class
25-29 (ACT)
core high school GPA range of 3.38-3.99."

USC's last class they have data for:

The middle 50 percent of the fall 2009 admitted class
25-31 (ACT)
mean high school GPA (unweighted and not the core science, math , history) 3.5 overall

I'd call it a dead heat on admissions based on that data.

As far as APR, maybe its easier to graduate at USC :)

I wasn't addressing whether Stanley can get in at UT. I was addressing the claim that USC is head and shoulders above UTK in academics.

I do know that the first step in getting him admitted would be that he would have to WANT to come here. He demonstrated that he didn't previously.

yes, but USC is a better school. therefore it should be at least just as hard to graduate as tenn. if SC is letting in idiots than surely these guys would flunk out or at least not graduate. and USC doesn't use act scores so i'm not sure where you get that info. and a 3.5 gpa could get you into stanford as a football player.

Based on what objective criteria? You can't just say it and make it so. I'm sure that USC has some good quality programs, but so does UTK.

If I wanted to go to film school, I'd sure as hell choose USC over UTK. If I want to have a good engineering degree - UTK has some of the top programs in the country.

Sorry for the multiple posts but here is the link:

They report ACT scores whether they use them or not.

And, I was just being facetious with the graduation remark. Hence the emoticon.....:)

Yeah I am as big of a Tenn fan as you will find but even I wont argue the fact that it is as good of a school academically as USC. Dont get me wrong Tenn is a great school.
