Tenn and Kent involved signals terrible grades.
Completely false, regarding Tennessee. I'm familiar with their current environment. If Brady cannot get into Miami, he has no chance of making it into UT. It has been overrun with academia of Tad Foote ilk, and has quietly and literally become more difficult to get into than Vanderbilt. It is a seismic issue, and even undercut Hart's attempts to hire a head coach (you're all familiar with that fiasco).
The APR scores are due significantly to their recent head coach's ineptitude (this time last year he had double-digit players on academic probation) and the draconian scholastic demands put on student-athletes by President Jimmy Cheek and others.
I have no knowledge of Kentucky. Nor do they have knowledge of any kind.
Absolutely ridiculous that it's easier to get into Vanderbilt than Tennessee. Per US news, Vanderbilt's acceptance rate is 16.4%. Tennessee's is 69.7%. That's not even remotely close.

Although some of that is skewed for in state admissions, there is still a wide disparity for out of state. Vandy is #17 and UT is #101 in a rankings methodology that highly values selectivity. To say that UT is harder to get into is a flat out insult to Vandy students.
Do you have the acceptance rates for football players? Do you know what Franklin has negotiated within the University? I'm asking for a friend.
No, I was just responding to the claim that Tennessee has become harder to get into than Vanderbilt.
Maybe your friend can email or call the university and see what's what as it pertains to him.
