Message: [QUOTE="pearl31, post: 1455697, member: 1531"] While it's certainly possible (likely?) SU was not completely thorough in vetting Diagne's Senegalese coursework, I find it amusing how some in this thread are going to great lengths to not fault the NCAA in this. As has been posed already... - How is it that a regular (non-athlete) foreign student can get into any academic program as long as they have the necessary U.S. transcripts and test scores, while an athlete's academic history is (selectively, arbitrarily) scrutinized to a much greater extent? - How is the NCAA qualified to assess the merits of foreign coursework? - By all accounts Moustapha was a good student in graduating from a strong academic high school. How is that not enough to qualify academically as an athlete in college? (Edit) - How is it remotely acceptable for the NCAA to rule on this two weeks before start of semester? The Devils' Advocate syndrome around here at times is nauseating [/QUOTE]
