"The issue is concerned with academic eligibility and how certain things pertaining to that have been handled."
It sounds more widespread than 1 or 2 players... I think that's the problem.
quote:Schools don't get in trouble for athletes not making academic progress unless it is the school's APR. Players do get in trouble and they get disqualified for bowl games all the time. If there is an academic problem with one of our players, it won't affect our program via any kind of NCAA punishment. Dial back the panic and think a little.quote:
So the coaches do not get periodic updates on players grades so they can avoid double secret probation?
The problem is what they do with that information. If it was covered up then we're in real trouble

If there's a problem that is systemic, it is more of an AD problem.
quote:Maybe yes, maybe no.The problems at UNC were systemic with lack of sufficient oversight by the university and athletic department as a whole. Coaches don't sit in class with their players. If a person with that responsibility says players are good to go, the coach wouldn't have any reason to question that.

Then of course the caller went on to talk about how great of a QB Johnny was as a true freshman, so I'm not sure he's our most knowledgeable representative.

Missing classes perhaps?? How would other members of the team know everyone else's grades??
