I remember illinois putting the beat down on Brady in 99 and then the refs loving over Illinois in retaliation the next year on consecutive incorrect turnover calls Then the NFL refs in Champaign in 02 blew a 4th and 3 sneak call, didn't measure and the bears lost. Brady hasnt come close to losinf to the bears since

It is nearly 2020, lots of people, athlete or otherwise are taking online classes. Football is effectively a full time job with significant OT demands, in a lot of cases taking classes online is the easiest way to work around that schedule while still getting in all your required classes Also I'm sure if you gave Fields the option to just go play football professionally he'd take it but he can't so

My wife is about to graduate in two weeks having not stepped on campus for a single class for a college that is 15 minutes away because she is also working a full time job. The idea that it's some weird thing to not take any classes in person is some old man poo poo.

Football is effectively a full time job with significant OT demands, in a lot of cases taking classes online is the easiest way to work around that schedule while still getting in all your required classes If football is so much that players can’t make it into the classroom to learn, maybe we should free up their schedules by cutting back on football hours. Classroom learning offers the chance for athletes to interact with other students and teachers in an academic setting, and allows for an active learning that helps many students. I’m not saying that it’s right for everyone, but I do think it is different enough that athletes should be engaging with it. Especially since, given the way football programs structure their athletes’ schedule, I highly doubt it’s really up to the actual athlete whether they go to in-class classes or online. Justin Fields may be able to skip right into the NFL, but not everyone can, and no one will be able to work in the NFL as a player until retirement age. These are young people, so I understand a lot of them won’t want to consider doing anything but athletics, but if we want to take seriously the idea of using athletics as a way of giving kids an education they can help them later in life, maybe we should put some serious thought into how we educate our athletes. Our current system where most athletes are either actively steered away from pursuing their own choices in academics or else simply can’t manage their course-load with athletics isn’t doing them a lot of favors.

I don't mean to single out Michigan fans on here because you guys are cool but living in Michigan I hear about "not giving up our integrity for winning like Ohio State" all the time. The old people still idolize Woody but most people stopped by the end of the Tressel era. Now, nobody really talks about Woody except for the oldest of boomers.

They have tutors that work with them at the athletic facilities to provide any hands-on stuff they need but for the vast majority of these kids, they’re loading up on the online courses available during football season and attending actual classes in the spring. It’s also not just an athletics thing. Lots of schools are moving base level elective type stuff to online because it allows them to cut overhead. This is as much an effect of institutional greed as anything.

I imagine the poo poo would hit the fan in the media if the SEC tried to fine a school 7 figures for a field rush. FWIW, the fine caps out at $250k. Personally I have no idea why there is such a fine in the first place, every actual fan loves field rushing.

And perhaps more importantly, if they do happen and lawsuits start flying, they can say that they were against it from the start and did everything they could to enforce the rule and it's all the individual school's fault for not hiring Pinkertons to hold the line at all costs and mercilessly truncheon any fan who tries to get on the field

And, call me suspicious, but some NCAA investigations have led me to believe that some of these tutors may be going above and beyond their tutoring role.

If you want to stop cheating in online classes you can make it extremely laborious, much more so than in person classes. You don't have to remove every person, monitor and electronic object from whatever room you're taking a test in, sometimes to the point of ridiculousness, and then have some weirdo stare directly at you and only you for an hour at 8:00 AM on a Saturday like the service the professor used for one of my friend's online course. And just from my own experience, while yes, some online classes are jokes, some were extremely laborious. I could argue against the EFFECTIVENESS of these classes because they weren't very for me, but, well, everyone learns differently.

A lot of those *cough* sports academies *cough* like College of Faith operate via online classes. Kids are "enrolled" at the academy, but are taking online classes from another, slightly more legit school. I don't know how any fees would work, but figure the sports academy is ripping them off in that regard, too.

The SEC can assign teams to its affiliate bowls at its discretion. When we play again, it needs to be a big deal, not in some sad third tier bowl with a quarter of the starters and half the staffs gone. It needs to be a setting where we can really light some candles and lay out some rose petals. Reliant Stadium isn’t it. General Dog fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Dec 3, 2019 |

The Athletic posted:“We didn’t play the run very well,” Saban said. “To be honest with you, I kept asking the question, ‘Why are they spitting that run?’ Based on the defense that we called and the defense that we were in, I thought we should be good. The quarterback pulled the ball and scored a touchdown when the guy who had the quarterback didn’t take him. So it was a combination that I can’t really put my finger on right now relative to the execution, but somebody wasn’t in their gap. Somebody didn’t do their responsibility.”
