Can’t have too many smart people at your college. Oh no. That would be unfaaaaaaaiiiiiirrrrrrrrr! Arghhhhhh where’s my safe spaaaaaacccce!
The University of Texas was sued by white students for not admitting them but admitting lower scoring black students into the pre-law program. UT lost which resulted in the Top 10 ruling making every public university in Texas automatically accept applicants from the top 10% of Texas high school graduates no matter what their skin color or ethnicity was. Well, UT got their panties in a wad and their oh so wise president had the gall to claim sending acceptance letter to the top 10% would mean they'd have to shut down the football program. WHAT?!? No more Longhorn Football?!?!?!?! No, we can't have that! Uh, yeah, like that would ever happen. So the Texas Legislature spent months debating the debacle and decided that UT would only have to accept applicants in the top 8% so that would open up slots to dumb jocks who couldn't crack a book to graduate very high up in their high schools. There are 99 players on the 2016 Longhorn roster. But UT couldn't seem to find a way to get those 99 enrolled somewhere within their 50,000 student body. Mind you, the other state universities still have to follow the 10% rule even though the law suit didn't involve them.
