Don't need to, he already knows and will tell you so.

Yeah, but I don't want him to know that WE know. Lol

Freddie is 1 of the most under-appreciated real Hoosiers. He has always stayed hooked up with the program from a distance in a way a lot of guys you would have expected to be haven’t.

I’ve come around on the ‘22’s getting the 5th year. There’s a logic to it and a legitimate question of fairness. But TKR was a ‘21 and he’s already had 5 years. And he wasn’t an injury RS, he was a developmental RS. And he’s 24. The only argument for him is that he just doesn’t want to go overseas.

I saw he was trying come back, but haven't paid much attention. What is his argument?

Not pretending.

When is the last time we have heard of an academically ineligible player?

How much are team GPA’s highlighted anymore?

Guys at many schools taking virtually all online classes (odds of abuse…100%)

Morris was on Don Fishers weekly show and when asked about his classes he mentioned having already graduated, and kind of stuttered about not really needing many classes due to the graduation. It wasn’t clear if he was taking anything (I assume he is but he was uncomfortable) . On a side note he sounded like a real good/nice guy.

That's not really a new thing.  Matt Leinert famously was only taking one class (a dance class) the year he won the Heisman.

I had friend who was a math tutor. Had a football player ask him to just do his homework.   When he said no the dude just left and was given a new tutor.  
 

And this was IU in the mid 2000s.  At LSU my buddy probably would have been expelled.  
 

Academics have been murky at best for decades

Michigan State vs UConn on Big Ten + tomorrow at 7pm

Had "Blue Chips" on for background noise while I was working today -- was playing on some cable channel. 

With how the dollars flow these days, I wonder when a disgruntled alumnus is gonna show up and go nuclear at a post-game presser like Happy did. Surprised that hasn't happened yet. 

(BTW, I noticed this the first time I saw the movie -- when the Western coaches are scouting IU on film, Matt Nover is clearly in some of the footage. He looked an awful like Western U. power forward Ricky Roe. LOL)
