There was no way Troy Bolton played basketball at Cal Berkeley, let alone play D1 Hoops as a whole.

I didn't think I would be writing a blog about High School Musical, but here we are. Many moons ago, I was touted the Troy Bolton in High School, playing football and being in the musicals. Now I wasn't going to college for either (nor could I), yet somehow, Troy Bolton, who was an average ball-player and mid musician, got the opportunity to go to one of the best schools in the country to do both. Now that makes you think?

When this tweet came up, I shamelessly re-watched some of the movie. Hand up, it's a fire series, but there are some major plot wholes in the story.

In High School Musical 3, Troy's dad introduces him to the coach of the basketball team at the University of Albuquerque, and everybody seems to accept that both Troy and Chad will be going there in September. Bolton was also considering Julliard, because of his new passion for the arts. In movie fashion, he decides to attend University of California, Berkeley in order to pursue both basketball and theater and to be closer to Gabriella, who enrolls at Stanford University.

Romantic, but this doesn't add up.

Let's start with the first aspect of basketball. The University of Albuquerque is a DII school. As a star high school player in New Mexico, that makes sense, and it's a no brainer he would get the full-ride scholarship.

Instead, Bolton opts for Cal Berkley, which one, isn't an easy school to get to, and two, a power-five conference player in basketball. The acceptance rate for out-of-state applicants to the University of California, Berkeley is 8.6%. Ain't no way he could get in academically, let alone make the jump for DII to DI.

Secondly, Troy Bolton was not a prime basketball prospect. You can't tell me he would have made an impact at the D1 level. Bolton is not the same as Jaylen Brown and Jason Kidd. He is in no way competing in a conference filled with teams like UCLA, Arizona, and USC.

He was 5'8, and the starting Small Forward. In what world would that make sense? I could see point guard, because a three? How? The size doesn't add up here. Throughout the movie series, you can see he has minimal basketball IQ. Was his head ever in the game? Efron was out here taking mid-range jumpers while being double-teamed!

I shouldn't be getting worked up about a fictional plot that came out years ago, but I had to get my thoughts fired up on the old blog machine because it's comical how Disney tried to pull a fast one on us. Maybe he would have been a scrappy player at Gonzaga, but I am calling BS on this storyline once and for all.
