SKOOBY Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/05/12/...tend-minicamps/ The annual scheduling conflict between Ohio State’s late graduation date and the NFL academic rule will keep a few high-profile rookies from attending upcoming minicamp sessions. The rule that doesn’t allow rookies to attend workouts until after their respective colleges’ graduation ceremonies will affect Arizona Cardinals first-round running back Chris “Beanie” Wells and St. Louis Rams second-round linebacker James Laurinaitis, according to Mike Sando of ESPN.com. It stands to reason that the rule would also affect the schedule of New Orleans Saints first-round defensive back Malcolm Jenkins, another former Buckeyes star. Ohio State’s graduation is set for June 14, which means that Laurinaitis will reportedly miss 14 days of offseason practices. Under the rule, which seems antiquated to me considering that most incoming rookies aren’t enrolled in school for the spring semester while preparing for the NFL draft, Wells won’t be able to practice with the Cardinals until he reports to training camp.

OTA time -- possibly mini-camp time but not training camp time. You cut off the part of the article that mentions Oregon is on the same schedule as Ohio State. Wake Up MENSA!!!!

tennesseeboy Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 miss mini-camp? WE'RE DOOOOMED!!! There goes the freaking season.
BuffaloRebound Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 This might be the dumbest rule I have ever heard of. So if Google offers a college kid a job before graduation, needs him to start right away, and the job isn't dependent on having his degree, the kid can't take the job and finish his degree later? I'm sure the colleges fought for this so their graduation rates for football players aren't more horrible, but this is an example of a rule to help the colleges look better at the expense of the athletes.

The dates in the article indicate Byrd will miss mini-camp but not training camp, which is what the title of your post is.

ans4e64 Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Does Skooby realize that NO ONE takes his posts seriously, because they're always wrong and there's always wrong information? Stop posting unless you know what it is you're posting. Jesus Christ.
Coach Tuesday Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Does Skooby realize that NO ONE takes his posts seriously, because they're always wrong and there's always wrong information? Stop posting unless you know what it is you're posting. Jesus Christ. He really doesn't. He must have been voted his high school's Guy Least Likely to Take a Hint. I mean it never stops with the guy. It never stops.

Last time i checked, training camp != minicamp. Training camp doesn't start until the end of july. So you are implying Byrd will not graduate until july, asshat.
WVUFootball29 Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Just to help Scrappy Doo out, Oregon's commencement ceremony is June 13th according to the school calendar. so it sounds like he's going to miss a few practices under the NFL's policy.
Lurker Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Ohio State’s Oregon's graduation is set for June 14 13, which means that Laurinaitis Bryd will reportedly miss 14 zip-da-di-doo-da days of offseason practices.
The Dean Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Isn't it interesting that Mr. MENSA here doesn't know the difference between "Minicamp" and "Training Camp"? And, he even posted an article that notes that Byrd will miss some Minicamp (not Training Camp) time. He has also been told by many posters that this is about Minicamp (and not Training Camp), and acknowledged it, yet he has yet to change the inflammatory and incorrect thread title. How long before this thread gets moved to Off The Wall, with a new title and MENSA's post altered to disguise yet another post with faulty information. The guy is either a serial liar, dumb as a bag of hair, or both. I'm guessing both.

Skooby, you are a freakin' moron. You make my retarded cousin look brilliant, and he wears his underwear on his head.
