Remember the days of holding your breathe for certain players to be eligible week to week? It’s wild that they are all brain surgeons now and have no academic issues on any team across all of CFB. We are getting smarter!

Same as with future H1-B foreign students, many of them have fake Bachelors degrees when entering a US university as a Masters Degree student via a Student Visa. Their sponsor (usually from India for Indian students) arranges for an educated Indian (from back in India) to do the Student Visa student’s school work for them. Complicit American universities, addicted to the high out-of-state tuitions from foreign students -&- eager to maintain their public ratings (as per ‘college ratings’ entities including but not limited to US News & World Report) by maintaining high graduation rates.

Thus, the foreign student with a real Masters Degree (albeit obtained fraudulently) and the credentialed student enters the lottery for a H1-B visa. US employers, eager to get a temporary employee at a sub-standard salary who’s highly motivated to not lose his job, never complains about working conditions; he hopes to ‘fake it ‘til he makes it’ and gets his employer to sponsor him for a Green Card.

(*). This long example is to illustrate the degree to which American industries (including media companies in the case of sports programming) coordinate with American universities to bypass the ‘rules’ which apply to ‘normal’ Americans (which in this case is represented by non-athlete students).

I strongly suspect that the institutional rules have been rigged so that CFB players almost never flunk out any more.

Why do you want to make student-athletes adhere to rules that don’t apply to non student-athlete students? Do the nons have to sit out games with bad grades? (Even though they don’t play any sports.) Do you hate people? Get it together, skippy.

Yes, sarcasm.

I actually agree with you to a degree....i personally wouldn't keep people out of games just for arbitrary bad grades.....but i think people are making the point that if the grades are so bad you flunk out of an institution......alot of these athletes are simply not able to make into these universities without bending the rules......and people can make fun of UNC all day long (as they deserve to be) for the fake classes.....but whats the real difference between a fake class and a pretend grade.....its still fake if you show up or not. So if its gonna keep going this way for all college teams lets just make the teams semi pro with contracts would be alot better, all of this pretending is getting stupid.
