If you thought that the SAT was a joke for high school athletes before, laugh even more now. According to this L.A. Times article, The College Board has decided that all students will no longer have to submit all their SAT scores to prospective universities, just the best score, as of the class of 2010.

Never mind the ramifications that it will have on normal students. This complicates an already murky landscape when it comes to the SAT for student athletes. Let’s be honest; most athletes aren’t exactly the brightest bunch in the head. Whatever methods they can take legally (or for the desperate, illegally), they will.

There have been more than a few times where an athlete would have a dramatic jump in their SAT score. Whether it was through hard studying (yeah…right), taking a class, or what many people would more or less accuse of as cheating, there were questions to be asked of a score change that seemed to be out of the ordinary.

Now? This decision opens up Pandora’s Box for the SAT. Those questions don’t have to be asked, to the delight of athletic directors all over this country. If those opportunities for cheating weren’t there before, they sure can be there now.

At least USC doesn’t like this decision and may still consider all SAT scores. That said, with O.J. Mayo being as retarded as he is in light of the allegations that are surrounding him, I don’t think it would make much of a difference.
