no attitude issues at all. This is more of a testimony to UK/Cats program. UK provides high level tutoring for athletes, and this would have NEVER happened at Kentucky. Washington has been bringing in these recruits, and not providing the needed resources. Kentucky is near the top the athletic/academic lists every year. Thats why Coach Cal always says youre in good hands here. We tale care of you

If he was at UK and mattered, or was needed, he’d be eligible. They may have made him take actual college courses. Bad decision to transfer.

Just OT; why was he eligible the first semester anyways? It wasn’t a hardship transfer and he would’ve only been eligible this semester now. (Same with Baker)

.

And you know this how? I haven’t heard of any other UW players being declared ineligible this season or in recent seasons. This seems to be a Quade Green issue more than a “UW doesn’t help it’s athletes issue.”

Washington has signed some top tier recruits the last 3 years. Thats one statement that is true. Quade was never ineligible at UK nor was anyone else. It would not have happened at UK. They would have known long ago that he had grade issues. Washington did not, and now he is ineligible. The real point is UK stays on top of their players and you'll never see this happen to a UK player

He was born deaf and has learning disabilities related to those issues, but go ahead and get your petty jokes off for the likes.

The kid transferred because he wasn't going to play here and left on good terms. We're better than that. Or we should be.
That’s it. I knew I remembered right! Hope he hits the books hard enough to play in spring.

We should be, without a doubt. Unfortunately, the internet and social media have exposed the rotten core of society that apparently had remained hidden for years.

The thing is....it's not unless you are in a specialty area field such as physician, physicist, scientist, biochemist, or a brain surgeon unlike Jethro the Bodine, or enrolled at unc in any of the above...or anything else...

It is basically memorization the first 2 years which requires strong work ethic, but not necessarily a high IQ.

No matter what major you pick, Junior and Senior year requires a lot more effort and understanding because there is generally some sort of Thesis involved.

It is hard work, but you don't have to be all that smart to graduate from college.

I'd argue you need to exhibit a strong work ethic, perserverance and self discipline more than anything.

Oddly enough, strong work ethic, self discipline, perseverance and well thought risk taking is what makes or breaks you in this world....

So none of this is Quade's fault?
You almost come off like at UK he would have had his work done for him.
I don't care how high level the tutoring is if the kid is not engaged it's not going to work unless they do it for him.
If that's the case then it's pretty much academic fraud.

Or a history student at WKU in the early 70's. that was harder than poker or a spelling contest

I agree, that is why I normally make my jokes or try to make "jokes" in general versus at someone I do not know. Now, if I know you watch out...

That’s terrible. I hope he gets that fixed. I read somewhere where there is a chance he could be eligible in March if he takes care of his grades. I hope that is the case. I don’t understand how any UK fan wouldn’t want the same.

No matter what major you pick, Junior and Senior year requires a lot more effort and understanding because there is generally some sort of Thesis involved. (I actually took a lot of my core classes later on. In lieu of a thesis, I had a comprehensive exam.)

It is hard work, but you don't have to be all that smart to graduate from college. (I'm really not sold on how hard it is, I'm not. There are too many "easy" degree's that don't amount to anything pay-wise but these darn courses cost the same. The degree itself is a life choice. Pick the easy way, that is usually where you land...Challenge yourself...

I'd argue you need to exhibit a strong work ethic, perseverance and self discipline more than anything. (I think now a college education lends itself toward, just showing up. It is sad and NOT in all cases but what is an accredited degree now should be news-worthy for the thievery involved with a lot of the degree programs.)

Oddly enough, strong work ethic, self discipline, perseverance and well thought risk taking is what makes or breaks you in this world....

GP, it all boils down to the "Want to"...

College is hard man. Not necessarily the coursework itself, but all the things you have to balance and that is especially true if you are a student athlete.

Take it from me, a 2019 grad. It was hard for me at times and I didn't even play sports.

haha ... okay then. “Take it from me, a 2019 grad” just cracked me up.
