See the bold print, and then realize that response proves what I said originally, which is they are already making exceptions for the policy, as I stated the first time. And the only way that list of exceptions would make sense would be if English was the primary language for all of them, but it isn't. So let's just say it is for the reason you stated, that isn't an exception based on the fact that they are proficient in English, but based on something that doesn't even apply to the basis of the test.
You know this is true for students with something other than English as a primary language? I frankly doubt that.
Do you have proof he can’t? Next.
When the whole forum is telling you your an idiot maybe it’s time you read the room.
🤣Do the math. Even if you assume all of those extra enrollments were purely driven by sports success, the revenue still doesn’t come close to what UK Health is generating.
UK Health pulled in $2.8 billion last year, and the Board announced this past spring that they were planning a $2.4 billion dollar expansion.
Healthcare, like many other large universities with hospitals, is where UK makes most of their money. Focusing on healthcare is where Capiluoto and the Board spend the majority of their time. If you don’t believe me, then ask them.

That's when that idiot said Trump would never be President. 🤡
I couldn’t imagine picking a school based primarily on athletics success.
Welp, that's you. Tons of people do pick their school based on that.
Or they pick a school because, "My parents were Florida fans so I grew up a Florida fan, so I always wanted to go there"....why were their parents such big Florida fans? Because of the geometry department? Or because of the athletics program?
I’m not the one deciding he is admitted or not. Why would I be a nosy AH and delve into the kid’s private matters? Oops….
Do you (think) know everything or are you just an admissions expert?
It’s kinda like running from a bear I don’t have to know everything. Just have to know more than you.
Funny how just a little reality just pisses all over conspiracy theories and made up BS.
We live in an era where nothing makes sense. Our president lives in a coma. Just accept it and move on.
It is not the role of boosters to change university rules. If you have not noticed, people have recently gone to jail for using their influence to get nonqualified applicants into colleges. Scandal and investigation. Is that what you want at Kentucky?
How do you know there is "no good reason"? Aren't you just expressing what you want to happen? Maybe there actually is a reason. The tendency of people on this board to leap to premature conclusions is a product of anonymity and lack of knowledge. What do you know about Ivisic's application file and how it stacks up to the requirements? You don't.
All of us want Ivisic in a Kentucky uniform. But if you can't get what you want, you tar and feather the admissions office. Without the Univ. of Kentucky, there would be no basketball team. There would be no basketball tradition. There would be no fan base. Look how fast many of you throw the school under the bus without knowledge.
Has it occurred to you that John Calipari could have phoned the admissions office and sought their guidance BEFORE offering this scholarship to a 20 year old east European FIBA player? Is that a lot to ask of our basketball coach? After all, he is in charge.
If your goal is to play professionally, you’d be kinda stupid to not do that.
That’s the problem, people accept too much anymore. That’s why everything is so crazy.
President Capaluto would have no pressure if he would be a good leader and end this right now. If it’s just an admissions issue over something as trivial as this then he should sign the waiver and let him begin.
The guy still wears a mask, even alone in his car.
I guess it depends on who you ask. There are many folks who focus on academics who couldn’t care less about sports.
That's true. I'm talking for the general public. If sports didn't matter, they wouldn't rake in MILLIONS. I mean Jarred Vanderbilt just landed 12.5 million a year to play basketball.
Stoops and Cal make a combined 17 MILLION a year. Universities of course care about academics as it's their original purpose. But they aren't stupid. They know what brings in revenue.
I tried not caring about things for a year. Wanted to just lay down and die. Not a good way to live imo. Doesn't mean you get overworked about things, but not caring about anything is worse than death imo.
Parking was a fairly close second when I sat in on the BOT meeting. Granted that was 9 years ago, and COVID has probably changed that.
You mean the Brand Cal has diminished.
We can let millions of illegals cross the border, feed, house, provide medical treatment and clothe them. But, we cannot hire a interpreter for 16 hours a day to attend classes and go to practice with Z.

I obviously said something supporting UK and the basketball program. Thanks for reminding me that many on this board find that offensive. I really care, you know?
No. The hate and Kentucky bashing here and the disrespect for the university by individuals and so called fans which are obviously unqualified to discuss the subject is always appalling.
People need to quit responding to him. He's a troll. Not even a UK fan.
The fact that he's defending the admissions shitbirds that are blocking the admission of one of OUR players should tell you all you need to know.
