College Basketball Coaches Call for End to ACT, SAT Requirement
Leaders say the tests hurt poor and minority students, ask NCAA to make āimmediate decisionā
By Rachel Bachman
July 16, 2020 1:20 pm ETThe nationās leading menās college basketball coachesā association has called the SAT and ACT ālongstanding forces of institutional racismā and wants them eliminated from use in determining athletesā eligibility.
The National Association of Basketball Coaches made the move three days after naming its first-ever Black executive director, the former Division I coach Craig Robinson.
Robinson is the brother of Michelle Obama, whose mother has said she never tested well. However, Michelleās husband Barack turned his career around in 1987 when he aced the LSAT. This could make for some awkward conversations at family reunions.
