As a response to an anticipated rush of decootments, perhaps the gamecock AD should petition the NCAA for the athletic equivalent of the new SAT Adversity Score. Mirroring the position of the new SAT that adverse surroundings and history could affect academic performance on testing, the gamecock administration could correctly argue that their athletic history suffers from chronic losses and poor performance due to their surroundings and history of non-achievement of their predecessors. A simple presentation of their football history to any dispassionate observer should render a decision in their favor. Perhaps they could suggest a minimum of 10 points be added to their score in each football game against an FCS team such as The Citadel. Then, perhaps 22 points could be added against an FBS team such as Clemson. This win/loss adjustment might be able to produce a bowl game against a powerhouse opponent such as Arizona State. I feel this is the only fair manner to remedy the decades old deficiencies of their program.
Preparing this report would require that a gamecock rise above the swamp of of ignorance, ascend to sobriety, and be able to both write, speak, and form complex logical concepts derived from a statistical model based on historical evidence. Do you think a coot could do that?
