Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 2861014, member: 1452"] This is an impossible call to make without knowing all the details (and, frankly, I don't want to know all the details - it is none of my business)...athletes do get a lot of academic support. These are delicate and gray areas...how much can the football program get involved once it becomes a matter of formal academic deficiency? No idea...there is a potential perception issue if athlete seen to be given special treatment relative to rest of student body (ie. school just wants to keep athlete eligible) and, given what happened on hoops side, I bet there is a special sensitivity there... I don't think it is fair to skewer the school (or anybody else for that matter) without knowing all the facts... [/QUOTE]
