What surprises me is that the schools aren't trying to pull some sort of rear end covering when it comes out that Star Player wasn't even going to online classes.

I hope Florida doesn’t get sent to the Cotton Bowl to play Memphis because there’s no upside to playing a good G5 team. At least there’s a decent chance their coaching staff is in Fayetteville or wherever. I’d honestly prefer the Outback Bowl. Big Piece O Shit fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Dec 3, 2019 |

There was a segment last week on the local news in Austin interviewing (I believe) the ADs from both schools. Texas said “yeah, it’d be great to resume the rivalry.” A&M said “why do they keep talking about it? it’s not a big deal to us.” It comes up every Thanksgiving.

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. Julius Peppers' tutor at UNC didn't help another student. Then when Peppers graduated, that tutor became his agent and didn't have another client. This agent then used Peppers' connections with football and basketball players at UNC to float them high interest loans prior to getting drafted. Good work if you can get it.

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 My Niece has a rare birth defect called Klippel-Trenaunay that basically caused one of her legs to not have a full circulatory system. Her junior year she got a horrible infection and had to be airlifted to the Mayo clinic during the second week of class. Purdue converted all of her classes to online so she could stay enrolled and keep up on her own schedule. If its something that's done for regular students, I don't see an issue doing it for student athletes.

I taught classes with football players in them and some were good students! Some never showed up except for exams. Some of them turned in work that was very different from their exams. Like, night and day. Quite...interesting.

I always saw players on campus, but never had classes with any. A buddy of mine won a ton of money off of Duane Coleman shooting pool in the student union tho... He wasn't in class, but I guess you could say he got schooled  Duane could have turned him into a pile of goo, but instead asked for pointers on shooting pool. Nice guy. Also, Reggie Merriweather threw great parties and was shockingly short.

Rad Valtar posted:Every student should be able to take as many online courses as they want no matter what their extracurricular activities are, hth. A recent study found that the average student athlete in the PAC-12 spends 50 hours a week. The NCAA is defending a structure in which athletes are recruited under the guise of being students, given a full time athletics workload and either explicitly steered away from pursuing their academic goals or else forced into a situation where they have to alter their academic course load to accommodate their demanding academic schedules. Other students face hardship, but this particular hardship is entirely within the control of the university. Surely between the flip idea that athletics are an elective and student athletes are free to do whatever, and athletes are essentially full-time employees so it doesn’t make sense for them to have an academic career, there’s a middle ground. This is all within the control of the NCAA and universities.

It was self defense though  “After viewing the film and speaking to people who were at the scene, I truly believe that Kellen did not instigate the situation and that he was simply reacting to what he saw as a dangerous situation coming right at him,” Solich said. Also see: Carl Pelini. Thankfully this shouldn't happen anymore because nobody will ever rush a field after beating Nebraska again. wa27 fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Dec 3, 2019 |

Its simply an accomodation for a students circumstances and I think sports would fit into that as well. poo poo, I wish my MBA had been all online, my group was carried by 2-3 of us with the other two coming along for the 4.0 ride. Coincidentally, one of the two freeloaders was a former Stanford football player. EDIT: Before anyone asks, he was nobody famous, just a scholarship O-Lineman who was a career backup. He was bright enough, had another master's degree, but had recently had a kid and was busy with that. The program was all consuming, 20+ hours a week for 11 months straight.....my kids didn't know who I was at the end of it. wernox fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Dec 3, 2019 |
