I will tell you that they do give offers before even looking at a transcript....you can draw your own conclusions.

You know that little bit still annoys me to no end.

The Big Kat stayed academically eligible his entire time at Ohio State. He didn't miss classes or post a 0.0 GPA his last quarter.

After his injury shortened NFL career he returned to school to persue his degree.

How exactly does he deserve to be the academic whipping boy?

Well, when I got my college degree, I had to take 2 phys ed courses. I took softball and billiards, which would generally be classified in the same group as golf. Mock it if you want, but it was a requirement for me.

The AIDS awareness course is something that should be a requirement at every college (not to mention high school) in America, in my opinion.

The music course could probably be used to fulfill a cultural diversity requirment, or would be an early requirement toward some sort of music degree.

Are these classes the most mentally taxing in the course catalog? No, definitely not.

Are they all legitimate college courses, all of which presumably require attendance and a certain amount of out of classroom work? Yes.

The important thing is that Kat returned to school and from what someone else said, he has received his degree. He should be commended for doing that, and not ridiculed for something that happened 10 years ago.

im just saying when youre a lb in the spotlight and you say youre eligibility rides on those classes, it doesnt make you look too smart.. i realize some stuff like that is needed, but if youre a high profile person, id keep it under wraps,,, letting that out only adds fuel to the fire that college athletes dont do shit in school

And I'm just saying that when you come on a Buckeye board and start calling out a Buckeye about his academics/intelligence you should be above reproach yourself.

That means you should use the word "leaked" instead of "leeked."

That means you should use the correct form of your:

im just saying when youre a lb in the spotlight and you say youre eligibility rides on those classes, it doesnt make you look too smart..

What you said is "im just saying when youre (you are) a lb in the spotlight and you say youre (you are) eligibility rides on those classes, it doesnt make you look too smart..."

I'm not usually the spelling/grammar police (because mine isn't all that great), but nd fans are an exception.

Now everyone, we ought to help a Domer out here. Our own Encouragement team, if you will. NDC can lead the team and teach him how to keep his cool. Thump gets grammar, High Lonesome is in charge of spelling, Mili will handle etiquette, and I'll coach drinking and creative profanity. Plan? :p
