I find it unseemly that there is even a whiff of collusion between the Athletic Department and the GSB which seems to allow the latter to be admitted to the GSB on a free ride in the place of some other possibly more talented (GSB-wise) applicant than Mr. Scarlett.

Agree with this! However, if Mr. Scarlett has been fully vetted and admitted to the GSB (has there been confirmation of this, btw?) on the merit of his academic and summer work resume, then I have no problem with his acceptance. If he is, in fact, a fully qualified GSB candidate, the bigger question to me is how can he possibly be expected to manage his GSB academic workload while spending, what, 20 hours a week on football? Sounds like a recipe for disaster, in one or both of these pursuits. If he is able to successfully pull this off, then wow! Just WOW! Im any case, I wish the young man great success!
