Great for NC State. Doesn’t mean other schools can’t be successful with the policies they have. And believe it or not, many college cheerleaders have demanding courseloads and are in highly ranked national academic programs and also cheer all star....
I agree. Lots of schools have demanding academic programs and kids still do school cheer and all stars. I just know as a parent of an athlete that cheers at a D1 school I’m glad she does not have that extra time commitment of all stars. For those that can do it all-kudos to them. That’s amazing!
I’m a parent of an athlete that cheers at a D1 school too. Who happens to be an adult and can make her own decisions and balance her schedule as she sees fit.
which will more then likely be changed in the coming year, to prevent it from happening again. I mean i get a lot of people are looking to her as inspiring, but its kinda embarrassing. She got there because of a loophole, consecutively placed last but since she chose her competitions extremely wisely, she managed to slip her way in. She was no dummy, the girl graduated from harvard, has been extremely successful in the business world, and apparently is a very good downhill skiier. Which makes me think she choose halfpipe specifically because it was easier to qualify for then any other skiing event.
Mine is an adult too. And can make her own decisions. I’ll stop posting on this. No point in carrying it further. She has had the best four years of her life and I’m proud of all she has accomplished.
I wouldn't technically consider what she did cheating, cause she did follow the rules, regardless of how lax they might be. But think about the person who probably didn't make the Olympic team or qualify who probably had more skill then her........Tomatos Tamahtos. What you think is embarrassing, others honestly think is one of the best hacks of legal loopholes, well, maybe since forever. She wasn't hurting anyone by taking advantage of her resources- too much time, too much money, that Ski House in 'Insert Posh Name Here'. She wasn't wasting your money either. She wanted something, she meticulously researched a way to achieve that goal, and she achieved it. Talk about a BAB
Phillip Defranco said it best when he covered this story. Some people think what she did is cheating and it's understandable to see it that way. But too Elizabeth, from one Hustler to another, I salute you baha
Agreed. She played her cards right though and managed to qualify through unorthodox channels that most decent but not uber elite athletes would not have the resources (and in this case the Hungarian heredity) to do so.
