Pastner did an outstanding job improving the basketball team's academic image. It isn't even debatable.

RE: Josh getting Tigers in Big 12
AJC just attempting to give JP some positive PR in Atlanta. JP has had a rough reception down here given the widespread knowledge of Memphis wanting JP gone. And after JP's ridiculous golf comments, the media has been consistently merciless in its criticism of JP.

Atlanta sports media is tough. Maybe moreso than Memphis', or at least it was when I lived there.

He did, and it sounds like Dr. Raines also deserves credit.

I particularly like the initiative that works with former players on completing their college degree.

The street could care less about the graduation rate, although it was mad about Tarik leaving for Kansas with a degree. BTW did u know he's in the NBA thanks to Self

I am happy for Black that he completed his degree regardless of school. I think he will do well in the occupation of his choice after his NBA career is over.

Nice to see professional reporting by a reputable newspaper after years of "reports" from hacks, insiders, and miserables.

The CA, like many papers, is a shadow of its former influence and coverage, although I think Schad is destined for the national stage. He is terrific IMO.

The paper continues to win newspaper awards for its work. So they are doing something right. But it is a shell of its former shelf. As are most newspapers these days. Being owned by Gannett now should help.

There is no denying Josh improved the grade point and helped graduate athletes while here. If that was the real goal in college basketball, then he won the Championship!
