Maravich's long-standing collegiate
scoring record is particularly notable when three factors are taken into
account:
First, because of the NCAA rules that prohibited him from
taking part in varsity competition during his first year as a student, Maravich
was prevented from adding to his career record for a full quarter of his time at
LSU. During this first year, Maravich scored 741 points in freshman competition.
Second, Maravich played before the advent of the three-point
line. This significant difference has raised speculation regarding just how much
higher his records would be, given his long-range shooting ability and how such
a component might have altered his play. Writing for ESPN.com, Bob Carter
stated, "Though Maravich played before [...] the 3-point shot was established,
he loved gunning from long range." It has been reported that former LSU coach
Dale Brown charted every shot Maravich scored and concluded that, if his shots
from three-point range had been counted as three points, Maravich's average
would have totaled 57 points per game and 12 three-pointers per game.
Third, the shot clock had also not yet been instituted in
NCAA play during Maravich's college career. (A time limit on ball possession
speeds up play, mandates an additional number of field goal attempts, eliminates
stalling, and increases the number of possessions throughout the game, all
resulting in higher overall scoring.)

Fox News: “Starting in 2014 the FAA added a biographical
questionnaire to the application process. Applicants with a lower aptitude in
science got preference over applicants who had scored excellent in science.
Applicants who had been unemployed for the previous three years got more points
than licensed pilots got. In other words, the FAA actively searched for
unqualified air traffic controllers. That is insane and they knew it was insane
when they did it but they did it anyway. Today we obtained new information, it
is an internal email written by an executive at the firm that devised the FAA’s
biographical questionnaire. In that email, the executive admits that the test he
devised has nothing to do with finding the best air traffic controllers. If you
want good air traffic controllers, find people with experience, that was his
advice. The FAA ignored this and used the biographical screen anyway. They
didn’t care about finding the best air traffic controllers. Compared to
diversity, your safety meant nothing to them.

Fox Business: “FOX Business’ ‘Trouble in the Skies,’ a six
month investigation of the FAA’s new hiring practices, uncovered changes that

helped them gain jobs with the FAA…Also uncovered was an FAA effort to promote
diversity that discarded 3000 qualified college graduates with degrees in air
traffic control despite their following FAA procedure and obtaining FAA
accredited degrees.”

Daily Signal: “In 2013, President Barack Obama-appointed
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta deemed that these hiring standards had not
produced a pleasing mix of air traffic controllers when it came to race and sex.
He announced plans to ‘transform the [FAA] into a more diverse and inclusive
workplace that reflects, understands, and relates to the diverse customers’ it
serves…Among the questions asked are: ‘The number of high school sports I
participated in was … ‘ ‘How would you describe your ideal job?’ ‘What has been
the major cause of your failures?’ ‘More classmates would remember me as humble
