I think he's enrolled and he'll play for the Hogs...but going to school and going to class are two different things...

[fischer]

like I said, give some evidence.

College athletes' attendence to class is regulated and mandatory.

[Ticket Mouse]

Tell that to FSU.

[fischer]

This is another classic case of you assuming you know something when you don't.

I bet he is in class.

Please give some evidence that points to something different.


And Cowtown, I told you I didn't want him to go to A&M. I am glad the Hogs got him. I think he is somewhat of a choker.

I don't know if he's a choker, but he's better than anything we've got up there right now. (The Brothers Dick)

I'll take him.

Why do you have to be a dick? So explain to me why Xavier Lee was suspended and is going pro?

On another note. My buddy from A&M who was a volunteer with me just got hired on as the Director of Football Operations at Arkansas. Now he is making about 120K. Maybe I should have stayed with it.

Are you talking about Stephen?

[fischer]

True, he is better than the dicks. I just think he is a selfish, me first kid who has never played well in a big game. He has the biggest arm in the country.


Don't know who xavier Lee is, but if he was suspended for not going to class, then it appears that his class attendence was monitored, thus proving MY point.


No, not Stephen. Its a guy named Mark Robinson.

[P. Marf]

oh.

[fischer]

okay, I just realized that Xavier Lee was the guy from FSU that was suspended for cheating.

I would LOVE to hear your logic that makes that even minutely relevant to a kid's class attendence.


I know this isn't something you want to hear, but every big time program has people who go to every class that a football player is enrolled in and makes sure he is there. I know this because I used to have 5 or 6 classes to check on MWF. Damn pesky facts, always getting in the way of your arguments.

Did you hear about that linebacker from UCF that is going through a divorce? They made a big thing about him driving 100 miles each way every day and what a student he was...well, his wife came out and said that he rarely attended class and that she did all his work.

[fischer]

i am sure her word is good as gold...she has no reason to lie.

Also, UCF is not a big time program. I said big time programs monitor class attendence.

[Ticket Mouse]

Do they? It seems like schools are always handing down punishments but the timing is awfully convenient. So only the big time schools follow the rules? The little guys can cheat and get away with it?

[fischer]

the little guys don't have the plethora of peons to send to each class. Not to mention they are not under the microscope like big time programs are.


I caught guys skipping a couple of times. They were dealt with in house.

Did you grab them by the back of their collar and drag them into Fran's office?
