Just say whatever comes to mind with no filter at all.

There’s good news and bad news if you’re a University of South Carolina football fan. The good news: The Gamecocks just landed a key commitment to its Class of 2015, with Georgia defensive end Arden Key pledging his future to Steve Spurrier’s squad. The bad news? He belittled South Carolina’s academics in an underhanded way while committing, and said that was a key reason he wanted to be a Gamecock.
Georgia defensive end Arden Key committed to South Carolina in part because of easy academics — Rivals
As first reported by Palmetto Sports and brought to Prep Rally’s attention by The Big Lead, Key, a rising junior defensive end Lithonia (Ga.) High, cited USC’s coaching staff as a key reason why he committed to the Gamecocks rather than in-state power Georgia. Yet, he also said that the school’s ability to create an easy road for its athletes as a key reason why he wanted to head to Columbia.
"The academic part, it's like you have to try to fail," Key told Palmetto Sports.
That probably isn’t the best way for a young prospect to endear himself to a large body of alumni who will, in turn, spend their hard earned money to watch him play. It stands to reason that most of those fans probably spent more time ensuring that they would graduate than Key plans on doing himself.
Then again, maybe Key was just misunderstood. Perhaps he meant to cite South Carolina’s tutor program as the key to lifting up players’ academic performance. According to unverified reports, he took a tour of the Dodie Anderson Academic Enrichment Center while visiting the campus shortly before committing, so that actually is a distinct possibility. Yet, if that was Key's intent, it raises secondary questions over whether athletes are students on an equal footing with their classmates if they know they're getting so much help they can't fail.

Makes me wonder if he even visited Tuscaloosa.

"The academic part, it's like you have to try to fail," Key told Palmetto Sports.
That statement may be a little out of context. He may be speaking of the system that alot of teams have in place to keep guys on track academically. Such as GA's making sure you are going to class, tutors, etc. Or, maybe he is majoring in paint by color. I don't know.

That would've been hilarious...
So, Mr. Key why did you decide to commit to bama, what was the main reason?
Well, you ain't even gotta go to class, they just signed a couple prospects that don't even know how to spell their own name...hell one the prospects slept through all of his classes and they called that a disability to get him pushed through, not surprising that he didn't know how to spell his cousin's name that he tattooed on his forearm. So, yeah that was the main reason...I ain't even gotta attend class, I just go to the weight or film room, also they pass PED around like it's candy, I'm wanna get huge...eventhough after college my body will break down rapidly, so it'll be hard to continue my playing career in the NFL, but hey, I'll get paid either way.
Also, I can't wait to get my H3 that I ordered through a couple unnamed bama boosters, then I can pimp that mutha fucka out, down in Mobile, Ala for very, very, very cheap. I can't wait to get there.
