Kim Jong Il posted:Schiano inherited a rebuilding job. His normal season was 8 wins and he wasn't a particularly good coach. That's the norm for a mediocre coach at Rutgers. Frank Burns in the 70s was actually considered a far better coach, he was very competitive when Rutgers did play teams like Tennessee and Alabama in his day. Burns wins are almost all over modern FCS teams and a lot of them were DII back then. He played UT once and Bama twice, all losses. They didn't regularly start scheduling major programs until later in his tenure, at which point they coincidentally were also pretty bad. quote:Not true. Winning percentage of Rutgers coaches between Burns and Schiano: .446, .447, .200. That's a weird definition of mediocre, my dude. Schiano got them to a relatively consistent 6-8 wins and Flood coasted on that for a couple years, otherwise they have sucked rear end since they started regularly playing major conference opponents instead of Princeton and Bucknell

I always just thought it was oversold with standing room only or that since the seats were bleachers they were a conservative estimate that wound up being more on gameday. Do they count the vendors too?

For UGA's first spring game under Kirby and he was pushing for a packed house, not only were the stands themselves squeezed in like mad, but the stair wells and standing areas were full too. I don't know how many extra people that added but it is kind of funny if a spring game was the highest attended event at UGA

This semester I am taking a graduate seminar on the university (both critical theory about universities and university novels). Our first reading is The Higher Learning in America by Thorstein Veblen. It was published in 1918, but I believe he started working on in the 00's. Anyway, I want to share this footnote with you all. The sentence that triggers the footnote (it actually has two) reads: "Little need be said of the threadbare subterfuges by which (ostensibly surreptitious) pecuniary inducements are extended to students and prospective students who promise well as college athletes; or of the equally threadbare expedients by which these members of the guild of sportsmen are enabled to meet formal requirements f scholarship imposed by shamefaced intercollegiate bargaining. The first footnote tells of a university paying a player $40 a month as a bookkeeper for the janitor of one of the dorms. The second footnote reads:Thorstein Veblen posted:A single instance may tolerantly be admitted here. Among the formal requirements that would admit students to a free pursuit of sportsmanship, at the same university as above mentioned [the one that paid $40], without imputation of professionalism, was specified the ability to read at sight such a passage in the given foreign language as would satisfy the instructor in charge that the candidate was competent in the language in question. The instructor responsible in this case, a man of high academic rank and gifted with a sympathetic good will toward the "boys," submitted in fulfillment of the test a copy of the Lord's Prayer in this foreign tongue, and passed the (several) candidates on finding them able passably to repeat the same in English. It would scarcely be fair to distinguish this episode by giving the names and places, since equally ingenious expedients have been in use elsewhere.

They have to come to college with 16 core credits. Now NCAA CORE CREDITS are different at every high school. Some high schools will give NCAA core credit for ASL classes for instance while some do not. Some poor low level recruiting assistant or intern who evaluated the high school transcript gave him core credit for a class he didn't actually earn core credit for. That would change his core gpa, and the amount of core credits. It's not a huge deal though. He redshirts, catches up on core courses and he's back in no time. (although they're wrong about it not being a big deal, according to bleacherreport, he's not even allowed to practice with the team this season because of this fuckup) Pakled fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Aug 20, 2017 |
