2012 TSUN shenanigans and arguments

[Buckeye86]

I know at UW the kinesiology major is an extremely small department and difficult to get into in the first place. They turn quite a few students away every year due to the high demand for such easy coursework in such a small department.

FIFY

In the convoluted world of college athletics and education, sometimes it takes a while for academics to acknowledge what appears to be obvious. That?s what happened at the University of Michigan, where The Ann Arbor News ran a series of articles last March with evidence that 251 athletes took independent study classes between 2004 and 2007 with the same professor and their grades were radically higher than in their regular classes. The series made it obvious that many of these athletes were steered to the professor, John Hagen, to help keep their eligibility. (Michigan, of course, denied this, kicking and screaming.)

The articles offered a rare peek behind the eligibility shell game played at so many colleges, as football stars like Gabe Watson played four years yet somehow fell 35 credits short of graduation. It also detailed how the kinesiology major is used as an avenue to admit student-athletes, who then transfer out before the difficult classes required of the degree. Many jumped to general studies, a major nearly half-filled with athletes, who make up 3 percent of the university student body.

Re: As you walk in the WHAC you see this...*

General studies at Michigan is better THEN any major on that list. This is a huge fail but its just another recruiting ploy by meyer.

LOL at acting like your business school is as good as Michigan's.

GTF outta here with this bull $hit.

Only a Michigan fan could misuse the word "then" while bragging about the academic superiority of his university.

What does "General Studies" entail anyway? Is that like the humanities?

"Our business school at M*ch*gan is so good that our football players aren't smart enough to have it as a major."

Does Michigan really not offer any undergraduate business majors? I know their graduate school is one of the best in the country.

i think there is a better question.

The TSUN business school alumni have been at the forefront of making Detroit one of the most successful and thriving cities..... wait.

What were the Fab 5's majors? Weber wasn't a math major, and Jalen has trouble with english

Jalen thinks he knows what an "Uncle Tom" is, but I can't imagine it's because he read anything by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

(Violent book.....terrible, terrible)


You know what I'm talking about, cinci.
