Criminal Minded posted:That's just called "the median." "Median average" is a brain-teaser of a contradictory phrase. Not really. The mean, median, mode are all types of averages. Just like a square, triangle and rectangle are all types of shapes. It's a little weird to say it's a triangle shape, as opposed to, it's a triangle, but it's not wrong. But in general usage, people say "average" when they mean mean.

I know what the median is ya dummies. I just haven’t heard it ever referred to as a “median average” since average typically refers to the arithmetic mean. But since mean along with median and mode are all measures of central tendency I guess calling them all types of averages colloquially is not fully wrong???

The average median is if you took all the medians but put them on an average. Like the median median, you get the middle value of the average of the medians. Do you understand now?

Yes, I understand what layering aggregations is. No, that still doesn't make sense in this context. GPA is a single value per individual, and so at the team level you only get a median or a mean. There is no average of averages or average of medians at play here.

Why tweet at all about a football team's GPA, it's like tweeting out the band's average 40 yard dash. Of course its going to look real bad and is better left unsaid

When I was a TA and had student athletes the athletics department also kept close tabs on their grades, emailing to check in every couple of weeks and asking how to "help" a student athlete succeed if their grades started to flag (not difficult to read in between the lines on that)

What's a normal rate for non athletes? Just under a 3 for Texas seems good? Ancedottaly my experience was athletes basically get all the cheats and to pass, but they're bumped up to passing, not a 4.0 That said free poo poo included the free tutoring by subject (optional), get out of class, take exams on the road proctored by the team (which means open book, that's how I passed my final physics course), priority early class registration and the important poo poo... basically every frat will give you full cheating help if asked. I was in marching band, not even football and got all but the frat support and free tutors.

I did have a class with our kicker and remember this prof who have a class speech about how he was on tenure and he wasn't going to let people skip the midterm for extracurricular activities. It was p. funny and a lot of people were confused. It was even better when he was wrong. Football runs schools.

My college would be so greatly improved if the D1 athletics program, the money it makes the University, the exposure it grants the school, and the desirability to draw more students to it was given to another school. All of the revenue brought in by those programs and the effects they have? Garbage. It's annoying that people I don't have to interact with don't come to my classes to not get the education I am. Now, of course what I'm REALLY concerned with is the athletes themselves, obviously, and how they are being treated so unfairly by the system. That's why denying them access to these Universities by cancelling these programs all together is also beneficial. Can't you see how much this benefits everyone here?

I surely see how it benefits the boosters and the university’s administration. Not sure how much it helps the kids who don’t go pro and end up with significant injuries and a worthless degree. Maybe we could just pay the athletes for their services at a competitive rate instead of telling them we are giving them the privilege of being enrolled in a university they aren’t even really attending.

Change 'instead' to 'and give' so they can still keep the degree for whatever worth they're able to give it

It was active for 2 days, and then it was locked. One guy was being stupid and potentially trolling with a forum full of people calling him an idiot and a moderator locked it within 48 hours because it had devolved into nothing but people calling the one bad poster names. It's really weird to see it constantly brought up as some sort of "hahaha dumb jocks" story considering what happened. Like either it's one really dumb person or it's a thread full of people falling for some bad bait, the latter of which ironically is what everyone who references it seems to be doing.
