and I won't judge you. I'm just an idiot anonymous Internet poster. I have some specific anecdotes from some people I know but as we all know anecdotes are the worst kind of evidence. It isn't anything underhanded. In fact, Boise State doesn't give special treatment for athletes like many programs, it's just that the requirements for their general student body is so low in the first place. It's a much easier school than almost every other major program, that's why I posted those links. And to be fair, that's only a small part of the equation. You first have to have amazing coaches, I'm simply saying I believe it's one of the reasons they get the athletes they do.
