Little has a shoulder now this guy is ineligible. I am sure this is good news to some of the bears.

I think we may end up learning this reason for dismissal falls in line with many other things that the OM admin has stated his year... In that it's a complete fabrication.

I'm sure this is a reach, but I think this is the result of the NCAA being on campus... they just can't "fix" things like they did in the past. Just about every borderline academic they used to get almost always got into school. I can't recall the last time they had a guy not be eligible for grades after being an active player. This kid had a private school background... hard to believe he wasn't capable. I believe in fact they did mismanage his school courses... or at least what "used to fly", they can't do anymore because they are under close watch. I find this an interesting byproduct of the investigation.

I'm not sure I'm buying the party line. How does marking a 2 hour class as a 3 hour class get you ineligible? I guess there could be some rule I'm unaware of so maybe someone could enlighten me.

I'm telling you, I bet the "BYU" type course seemed like far too much a stretch with all eyes upon them now. How else does someone relevant to the team all of a sudden not make enough hours due to admin error.

I've never ever heard of such. Geez, if there is a first time for everything, 90% of it occurs in Oxford... Powe, player adoptions, admin errors, the plan, "new ways of cooperating", PIs, the list goes on and on.

A job opening for an academic counselor was posted a day before this news broke. Someone screwed up and lost a job for it.
