I wasn't suspended. I was on probation and had to get my GPA at or above a 2.0 before the spring semester to play in the baseball season. Which I did.

With that you have to know who's teaching you. There were teachers that saw where I was comming from as a ball player (leaving on Friday or Thursday morning and not getting back till Sunday night then having to turn around and have tests and papers due, then have 2 midweek games one away one home, etc...etc..) They would see how that was a burden and gave me a little extra time to do things. While others were just complete assholes and made it harder and if I didn't have one little homework assignment onetime they would go ape and go to my coach. In my 2 years at that JUCO there were maybe 2 teachers that were harder on me because I played sports.

All I'm saying is that I find it hard to belive that Morley went to his classes and did his work and got failing grades. If I showed up (excpet for those 2 teachers) showed interest in the subject, turned in my work, the lowest I got was a C.

athletes get all the advantages as they should. they get to make their schedule first (no 8 o'clock classes), get the teachers they want (the easy ones of courses), get tutoring help, to me theirs no excuses he cant pass if he put forth the effort unless he has trouble reading, thats really the only legitimate excuse.

:blink: heffney is one of the best returning players on next years squad. true it was a mistake, but he's made alot of big plays the last few years to make up for it. if you remember d-mo has tried to do too much on kickoff returns and in one instance ended up pinning us at our own 1 or 2 yard line.

Do we really have to babysit anyone.I agree with the point he may have dyslexia, then that would be understandable.

I don't care if he has dyslexia, anorexia, or syphillis. If you can't pass your Soph year, which is still usually gimme electives like music appreciation, psychology, sociology, religions of the world, and maybe a toughie like eng 101, etc... I think it's pretty obvious that he didn't try. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. That being said, I believe in giving someone a 2nd chance and hope he realizes what a mistake he made, works his azz off to get back into school, and becomes a better person for it.

Isn't it ironic that Morley was allowed to play football during the season and in the bowl game with the same grades that got him suspended from UT? Where was the monitoring of grades? It makes you wonder.:clapping:

No, there was a reason he could play in the bowl. He was in the classes and passing apparently, but he was warned to raise his GPA or he wouldn't be eligible for the next semester. He didn't raise it enough to be eligible. Word is that he will go to JUCO and transfer back(maybe not to UT) after a year.

The more logical move with a stronger statement would have been to suspend Morley until he showed proof of raising his grades, rather than just letting him play. Another example of "give him another chance......and another....and another...." Lack of playing time speaks louder than idle threats.

Morley was suspended earlier in the year for academics. It didn't work. The staff saw the writing on the walls and let him finish out the year.

It was the SC game. With my tickets on the second row, i could see his name and jersey bright and clear.

thats a horrible thing to say. But, looking at some of your post lately, leads me to believe that you as well do not make the grade on any level of maturity. especially referring back to your post game vandy threads.
