You can say what you want about how Georgetown compromised the admissions process for basketball but they did it the right way to benefit those athletes. Like rgs318 pointed out they fully support those players so they can succeed. Three of my kids who graduated Georgetown were note takers for players and were told if the player missed class you must not give them the notes- that was never an issue.
BTW those three kids of mine were not accepted by Ann and her team, so I must have done something wrong at some point.

I will say this for Patrick Ewing: I recall an interview he gave after a game sometime during his freshman year. Each answer was a 1-2 word grunt. Was uncomfortable to watch. By the time he was a senior he was much, much better.

Ewing obviously got preferential treatment due to his substantial athletic gifts. To his credit, he took advantage of that opportunity and seems to be a very solid citizen. As a Knicks fan, I came to like him quite a bit after not being a fan of those Georgetown teams. Like most (all?) New Yorkers back then, I rooted for the Johnnies in the Big East.
