Pat, I don’t disagree. Without question, ultimately the students are responsible for their own grades. However, the coaches have a lot invested in these student athletes and I still believe a monitoring system helps everyone involved.

Tim, I thought the same thing. It’s shocking. McCoy and Taylor have been around long enough to know how it all works.

I can tolerate the grade issue much easier than an issue with behavior or drug usage. The most perplexing issue I have with the grade problem is that McCoy and Taylor are upper classmen and should have this college thing under control.

“He wasnâ€™t sure exactly who is responsible but this would mean it is someone outside of the Athletic Department.”

Uhh, that’s the easiest one of the day. The responsibility lies 100% on the adult males who have been graciously given phenomenal free higher education by the taxpayers of the State of Tennessee.

Adjusting to University life, independence, and developing good study habits is not easy. But with the kind of props offered by UT and every other SEC program, these me have no excuse. Absolutely none!

No scapegoats necessary. We have six already.
