Reality is we got a really nice option at TE.

Heard some rumblings about some transfer QB candidates but that wont come to fruition until later closer to spring ball.

UM.....The last time I checked YSU is accredited the same as tOSU. Maybe you aren't an engineer, but the Engineering Program is ranked like 45th out of 238 schools world wide and we are better than tOSU in that area. The YSU STEM college overall is probably 2nd in the state of Ohio behind Toledo.

--- Quote from: YSUFANSINCE1990 on December 12, 2017, 12:23:19 PM --- Chief is correct, YSU much easier academically than OSU. It's a fact, not a slam on YSU. Unless you play football or basketball, OSU is one of the toughest schools in the country to get into... Excluding Ivy League. Considering we lost three tight ends to graduation, this is a good get for Pelini.

Cannot agree there at all. Larger schools (let alone OSU, the nation's largest) have an enormous number of General Studies curriculum and more lower intensity (academically speaking) degrees that a smaller school like YSU could absolutely not afford. University requirements to enter YSU are identical to OSU, where is can vary is within a given school. For example my daughter was accepted to OSU while still a senior at JFK, after she took her exams and graduated, the School of Engineering - Mechanical specialization offered her as well. My recommendation was to take it and run, as she can always change majors later, but unless she can keep a 3.3 or above GPA she will not be accepted as a Junior. She did change to ChemE. The point is, that it is tough to get into some schools at OSU, but anyone can get into the university, as long as you meet state guidelines and the depth of curriculum is some much more than YSU could ever hope to offer. A player at OSU can go 3-years before they have to declare. Until just the past few years YSu could only afford reading writing and arithmetic.

You have to apply to the school of Engineering at YSU. You cannot just start attending. You have to have a good GPA and it has to be approved by the Dean even if you are already a current student at YSU.

At the last visit to Columbus that I saw from Tressel, he was very proud of the fact that YSU had 2 major academic accomplishments:
1) Rhodes Scholar
2. The first time YSU had an undergraduate admissions refuse people that qualified. I am certain that it had to do with major being full, but that is a huge accomplishment
BTW, why are you so shocked about Duke? It is only the most prestigious university in the South. They actually can obtain top athletes that are academically-gifted; probably do this better than most Ivy schools. Very strong religious affiliation as well. I was reading about how Duke dropped religious requirements (for undergrads) and they lost a chancellor and president (both resigned) over it.
Let's get back to this guy from OSU & I will see what I can find on him.
