Key – who gave his non-binding commitment to the Gamecocks earlier this week – seemed to indicate one of his reasons for choosing USC was the school’s less-than-rigorous academic standards. “The academic part, it’s like you have to try to fail,” the highly touted recruit told recruiting analyst Phil Kornblut. Hmmmmmm …Not surprisingly, Key’s comment instantly went viral – with the flagship institution for the dumb-as-dirt Palmetto State taking predictable flak. And it’s also no secret these student-athletes are taking classes like African-American studies as opposed to, say, Rocket Science 101. And if he excels there, he could very well wind up playing football on Sundays in the National Football League.
