UConn James Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Link You've gotta be !@#$ing kidding me. And, sociology is the most useless major ever. I had classes w/ some players for UConn (sat next to Sue Bird in French ). Some of them took classes seriously, some not. Why do they bother calling them student-athletes? And, why don't they have some kind of program where the kids who don't want to do the academics can elect not to, receive a stipend and not waste everyone's time and enrollment/registration slots?

Calhoun really should release them from their scholarships and they should be expelled. I don't care how good M. Williams is at putting a ball in a hoop. Will that happen? Probably not. There was an indcident with five starters on the football team being in a car when one of them (who was expelled) shot at someone with a BB gun. I'm so tired of athletes getting off Scot free b/c they're athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Marcus was going to be one of the top 3 PGs in the country this year. He was less than 18 months away from being a likely lottery pick and making millions of dollars. This was probably a good idea.... I'm with you, kick him off the team, take away his scholarship and expell him. Let him figure out what to do next. I'll even go one further. I think schools should have a clause in their agreements with these "student"-athletes that say if they screw up like this, the school can recoup any scholarship money they have already given them. Of course, that would go for any student on a scholarship...athlete or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Who cares, it's not like he's ever going to need his degree anyways. It's more of a formality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The real joke is the excuse they give for not having an 8-team playoff: Our student-athletes need time to prepare for finals. Every other division (where kids actually have to go to class) have a playoff...That is just a lame excuse for the NCAA execs defending the Bowl money they collect.
