#stopsnitchin RT @jimchair: Carmelo Anthony got four Cs and a D in his first semester at Syracuse, according to Jim Boeheim in his new book

a. illegal without permission
b. why?
c. WHY?
d. what in the world?

I find it hard to believe that Boeheim would write a thing like that.

Anyway, Carmelo's freshman academic success rate has been pretty common knowledge for a decade. Probably not something any sort of journalist should be tweeting about.

Ignore this post. I'm an idiot.

Didn't you know that C students run the world. Much has been written about it.

What's wrong with a C?

I have no idea what your original post said, but this edit is as good as it gets.

I didn't know about it.
And, believe me, I'm pretty common.

That means Carmelo likely was on Academic Warning...meaning he needed an average above 2.0 the 2nd semester to clear his status (not that it mattered).

C's earn degrees!

 

[cuseattle]

I am a C student, but good at pool and foosball.

My Dad used to say this about grades in Law School:

A average Lawyers became Law Professors
B average Lawyers became Judges
C average Lawyers made all the money
D average Lawyers sold insurance

I put the C in common.

Did Melo have summer course grades before starting his freshman year?

e. Who Cares ?

 

[MikeSU02]

Winning a title and still getting Cs? That is impressive in my book.

 

[CuseTroop]

Well, to be fair... Patrick Ewing got a two 1s, and a 2... They tried to give him two Fs and a D, but he couldnt read them.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Give me a C, a bouncy C...

 

[moqui]

based on the evidence of things unsaid, I guess that means that he got 5 incompletes in the spring semester

Grades, schmades. We're talking about pro basketball's pro feeder system, big-time college hoops. When I saw the subject line on this thread, I thought it was about this: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/58989/in-fishers-debut-knicks-a-work-in-progress

I think those were Hoover's grades in Animal House.

Boeheim: "The point I was trying to make, & maybe did not succeed in, was that I was impressed w/ how he did as a first-semester freshman."

He was impressed with a 1.80 GPA? Yikes.

He should've focused on his PPG.

Compared to another Melo, i'm sure that GPA was pretty high!

Melo's 1.8 GPA translates to career earnings to date in the neighborhood of $154 million, beats my 3.6 GPA earnings every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Apparently I wasted a lot of time studying.

there doesn't seem to be very many intelligent people in leadership roles up on the hill!

That sounds very very fishy to me. I would put the likely hood of that being true as "probably not true"
