By the way. regardless if what I heard was correct, my point is, y'all need to look in the mirror before spewing the garbage at Texas you have in this post.

Here's my beef with Tucker. My mom supervises tutoring sessions at A&M, I think thats the 'official' job description anyway. Those boys are given everything they need to pass their classes. If Tucker took one class over summer and passed his 6 hours this semester, then tu screwed up big time early in his career. If he wasnt able to get his 6 hours then I dont feel sorry for him at all. He was presented a great opportunity and dropped the ball.

If he is indicted, he will never set foot on Texas' campus.

He was indicted in December. He is still listed as a verbal.

I hope he meant convicted not indicted...indictments are a dime a dozen

Tabasco:

There is no OFFICIAL list of commentary from a school on verbal committments. You are reading a private enterprise (Rivals, Lemming, Scout) and their list.

He was offered and accepted with a non-binding verbal committment BEFORE this happened.

Because some service chooses to list him as a committ or not does not reflect Texas' policy.

Bottom line, if he did this awful thing, he will not play for Texas.

Texas seems to be waiting to see if indeed he was involved in something this heinous.

Also remedial classes do not count towards the 6 hours that are necessary for graduation. So it is possible that PJ may have taken other classes whether they be electives or remedial classes that don't count towards his degree plan.

>>Your school had 8 arrests from the football team last year alone. Most of the players are still with the team.<<

A lie. In 2004, 5 players were arrested, and 3 remained on the team in 2004. From September - December of 2003 (I don't call that last year, but just in case you do) another 5 were arrested (one three times, I think), and only one of those were on the 2004 team. 4 total, and all 4 (not most) had arrests that were strictly alcohol related (though Pegram was charged with evading). Not defending alcohol arrests, but the returning players didn't have drug or violence charges. There seems to be a club for that at t.u.

This has nothing to do with t.u. allowing players they essentially knew would be ineligible to continue to play. Laugh if you want at the term "student athlete", but the spirit of the rules should encompass that. The message that was sent was "we are going to take advantage of the wording of the rule so that a player, even if ineligible, can continue to play and produce for our team. After all, winning is the most important thing, and we'll work with the player on his academics if we need to in the future."

91AggieLawyer - You are pretty naive if you think that wouldn't happen at A&M or any other big-time school. Let Reggie fail next year and see if he gets to play in a New Year's Day bowl game. I think they might just appeal.
