And there it is. One of the first "blame Kiffin" statements.

I think you jumped to conclusions based on my statement. Im not blaming Kiffin. The blame resides on the staff and players.

It has been suggested that Dooley is full of BS with the VFL program and recruiting "high character" players. I was suggesting that saying that, is way too easy when most of the players that supposedly were having some issues were in that first class. Miller and Schofield were. Am I naive to think some out of the 24 recruits were Dooley recruits? Nope.

Larry you are giving me ncaa eligibility rules but my question is if a student has been on academic probation for a semester do they get the summer or are they removed from school by the university? Not an ncaa question

If they do not meet UT academic requirements at the end of spring semester they will not be given summer semester to make it up. To remain eligible to stay in school the next semester you must maintain a 2.0 if you are on academic probation, anything less and you (as we used to say) flunk out.

another reason why I doubt we have 30 scholarship players about to be booted from school in a month, which is was true academic probation is.

To get kicked out after being on probation you have to have BOTH a cumulative below a 2.0 AND a 2.0 for any semester your total gpa is below a 2.0.... Which is really hard to do.

So your gpa may be a 1.5.. But If they get a 2.1 for the semester they are fine... Or if they get a 1.5 in the spring semester but their overall is gpa is still at a 2.5 then they are also fine.. Even If it is say their third semester below a 2.0.

Cuonzo needs to get those kids out of the classroom and in the gym practicing more...


Well done Dooley!


If we wanted spelling bee winners, we would recruit nerds from New Jersey.

I understand the number of hours that football players put in. I had classes with a lot of them. One of our linemen that was an AA in high school bought me a drink on my graduation night. He's a great guy - as are most of the players. Not to get off on a rabbit trail, but Chris Walker is on FCA staff now - AWESOME. I love it. Anyway, back to GPAs. I understand it can be hard - but if you're a medical student, you know what you're getting into and realize the time it will take and the expectations. Same with Engineering or Architecture. These football players (should) know that there are expectations when they are in college, and even if it is hard to get that 2.0, (which I am sure it can be for some if you are a football player) you have to do it. Now, I was never a fan of CLK, but I love what he had to say about this issue - (paraphrasing) - "I'm not gonna tell these kids to make grades their #1...Football is their #1, grades are #2..but in order to get #1, you have to do #2"...That isn't the exact quote, but it shows the point he was making. If they want it bad enough - they will get it. Looking forward to this fall. GBO.

Side note - I'm an intern in Washington, D.C. and a VFL. If anyone wants to help me out with a job, feel free!

I'd be happy to try and help with the job part. Shoot me a DM, I couldn't send you one but you should be able to send me on (I think)

Are you trying to imply that people from New Jersey can be smart?

not likely

Per Hyams:

* 30 players were on academic probation from the fall semester, 24 on scholarship. Of the 24, nine were starters and two others did not participate in the spring for academic reasons: Cory Miller and Jerquari Schofield. Another, Arthur Jeffery, has left the program. Miller is likely to return, Schofield is not, a source said.

* Nine scholarship players were on the 3.0 honor roll in the fall and 13 had a cumulative GPA above a 3.0.

* The 1.9 GPA among scholarship players was considerably less than in the fall of 2010 (2.37), 2009 (2.31) and 2008 (2.18).

* Of the 13 seniors-to-be, 10 had a 2.0 GPA or better. Of the 31 juniors-to-be, nine had a GPA of 2.0 or better and seven earned six or fewer hours. Of the 25 in the 2011 recruiting class, 15 had a 2.0 or better and four failed to earn more than six hours.

So if 2 sat out the game for academic reasons, am I not to assume that the other starters on probation from the fall have straightened it out? If not, why did they play?

Shut up Assmanbruno. You troll. You are obviously trying to spread negativity around the program. I need at least ten sources to believe any of this has happened. It's much ado about nothing anyways. They'll all fix their problems before next season.

Was his report about 30 scholarship players on probation proven true or false?

how could they have straightened it out? Grades won't be final till May 8th.

It sounds like the two who sat out were so screwed with their overall GPAs probably and it would take tons of work to fix.
