WTH!!!! Kuhnert suspended two games by NCAA

[bisonaudit]

Is the 2 game suspension common? I've never heard of being partially ineligible before. I thought you were eligible or not eligible?

Speculation: He didn't meet the progress requirements as of the end of the fall term. He got himself back in compliance over the spring and summer. They applied for a waiver and got the penalty under 14.4.3.1.6 (see 2nd table in the link) reduced from 4 games to 2 games.

EDIT:

Page 6 of the attached lays out the condition for having the suspension reduced from 4 to 2. (27 credits over Spring and Summer terms).

Wow 1.8 gpa minimum? Some of these people probably shouldn't be in college...

We could stop pretending they're students of anything other than football and just pay them to entertain us.

And you can stop being such an arrogant dickwad. The football team is a reflection of the entire student body as far as academics, and maybe a better than mirror image actually--as far as graduation rate and GPA.

Meh, I was a student despite completing very few credits per quarter (yeah, it was quarters back then.)

So Coprich can sell drugs to a cop and not miss a play, but a student who fell behind in credits then did 26 to catch up has to miss two games. Head scratcher.

It seems like maybe you've interpreted what I wrote as some sort of swipe at the intellect of football players. That wasn't my intention at all. You can't be dumb and play football at an elite level. There's a ton of information that you have to process each and every week and integrate in such a way that you're still reacting more than thinking on the field. That's an incredibly difficult thing to do.

No. My problem is with the NCAA and their stupid amateurism rules that punish kids for the sole purpose of protecting a bureaucrat's payday.

I thought FCOA was supposed to help alleviate these financial concerns of student/athletes. I am sure it has somewhat, but not to the extent that some on here would like.

I could give a shit about a student or an athlete's financial situation. I just think they should get paid what they are worth in the market rather than the benefits of a system of indentured servitude accruing to a bunch of empty suits who's only job is to administer a system of rules designed expressly to perpetuate their own position.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but your comment "stop pretending they're students of anything other than football and just pay them to entertain us" is an incredibly horrible way to make your point.
