They did that in the 1950s and 1960s, when college graduates were uncommon, and university graduates even rarer.

I've seen plenty of exceptionally bright guys flunk out, and plenty of guys with moderate IQs-maybe 110s but who have self-discipline and a strong work ethic thrive.<br /><br />In a sense, this serves a good proxy for how they would do in the real world in many jobs. If I'm a manager, I ultimately don't care if Ted has a 160 IQ if he screws around all day and doesn't get his work done. If Sam with a 110 gets his reports done accurately to me on time, and Ted doesn't, Sam is getting a Christmas bonus this year and Ted is going to be replaced, assuming he's not the VP's fluffer or something.<br /><br />That being said, conscientiousness, hard work, and IQ often go together, and a person with high levels of these will achieve the most.<br /> Randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-8449512124361099482012-11-22T07:35:06.240-08:002012-11-22T07:35:06.240-08:00"Truth said...

I think 32 in the NFL with a population over 300 mil. England has 92 in the 4 divisions with a population a little of 50 mil.<br /><br />There would be 574 pro football teams in America if the US had the same amount of teams proportional to the population.<br /><br />Division one teams should be pro teams.

They were consistently a playoff team, with a few dominant regular seasons at 13-3, but they under-performed in the playoffs. So the fans and the team got tired of this level of "failure" and booted Marty, replacing him first with Dick Vermeil. They were up and down for a few years with Vermeil until he retired. Then they hired Herm Edwards.<br /><br />Edwards was known for mediocrity, but he was sort of a pre-Obama Obama: a tall, fit, well-spoken black man. The only problem was, he didn't really have anything to say, but not many people noticed that. Again, just like Obama. Soon the Chiefs had their worst year ever.<br /><br />I didn't notice, though, because I'd stopped following the team. Not because Edwards was black, but because his hire was so safe that it was clear the team wasn't going to take any risks to win.<br /><br />So I hadn't seen a game or watched the standings since then, until a few weeks ago I thought I'd catch a game. There they were, getting beaten by a better team, taking no chances on offense just like I remembered, but now the black coach on the sidelines was a whole lot fatter. I soon discovered this was a new guy, and he's not only missing Edwards's fitness, but also his eloquence. I caught a post-game press conference, and the guy didn't say one word that wasn't right out of the cliche playbook. Since then, I've watched a few more games and caught a few more quotes, and I still haven't seen any evidence that the guy's ever had an original thought of his own. The team is now something like 1-10, and apparently they've learned nothing in the several years I've been away.

Seems like a medical headache to me that is farmed out to colleges now.<br /><br />Plus enough "minor" league teams to support sending players to the NFL might be unworkable.

DII is where these guys should be, at best. plenty of them don't even belong in DII they should just go to minor league football or basketball straight out of high school.jodynoreply@blogger.com
