We can debate whose fault it is all day, but we have indication he wasn't a complete slacker.

I do know this - while we debate the policies - we continue to line up and play against about 9 schools on our schedule that have the Hargrove's and even those below him academically on their roster.

Clough needs to overhaul our entire commitment to football - first and foremost with academic policies.

Driver8 - you missed one major point in my post. That is, why was a jr sitting there with a 1.9 GPA? And what did he mean by a "tough" schedule? I'm sure Tony is a great guy. But my real question is what kind of support and advice was he getting all along, not just this last quarter. Maybe he needed those classes to meet his major requirements and had used all his electives? None of us knows so it's not fair to anybody to speculate too much. But I'm concerned that we have a kid that far into school with that GPA.

Ghost,
If the JR. you are talking about is the one i think he should stay in school. My old roommate in Buffalo who is now a coach with the cardinals says he is a long way from the NFL. Says the kid needs to grow up and mature and stop thinking ONE game will make him a star. Unfortunate that he is listening to all the hype about him.

Mover, that it is the way it appears to me, when reading between the lines. Sometimes these kids get starry-eyed, think they are ready for the pros, when they really have a lot to learn.

This often equates to them getting lazy, getting too much fat vs muscle, slowing down, going through the motions, and even relaxing on their studies because they think they can automatically run through the season and be drafted in the next year's group.

Some of these starry-eyed lads would do much better if they would place the same emphasis in their latter years as they did while trying to earn a starting position.

Actually, a coach would be wise to drop a player like that to second or third string and make him play his way back to first string.
