Duke & Notre Dame

I don’t see how the SAT scores of Duke football players are relevant to this discussion, since we’re talking about Duke’s bball program…In fact, I distinctly argued that it is the Duke bball players who are “barely literate.” I made no such claims about other Duke athletes.

A quick search for that article you mentioned reveals the following facts:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Average SAT for Duke men’s basketball is 997. Not much lower than Stanford football. </p></li>
<li><p>The average M/CR SAT for recruited athletes is 1212.</p></li>
<li><p>5 people out of the entire freshman class were recruited men’s basketball players.</p></li>
<li><p>79 freshmen were recruited athletes (4.80%); 1554 were not (95.2%).</p></li>
</ul>
