I don't understand what Kyle Lamb is trying to say. There is not a top 50 University of which I am aware, that is competing in the online space or shortly attempting to do so. That includes Harvard, LBS, Duke, UNC, Stanford... you name it. Universities that ignore online education do so at their own peril. What I find a bit puzzling is how limited the product offering is.

That's Lamb's point. Some scUM blogger claims that Fields taking online classes shows that OSU only cares about the foosball. Lamb's pointing out, as you are, that online classes at any university are a dog bites man story.

Fucking archetype of an incel. Probably spends 90% of his time on reddit posting sexist shit because he's never gotten laid.

EDIT - Fungo already had that covered

Well, to be fair, if complaining about not getting laid is uncool, please tell me just what the fuck us married guys are supposed to talk about at our high end happy hours.

Michigan Monday — The Death of Hope

19-11-30-FB-2213-TO.jpg


Before the game, the talk from Michigan fans and radio hosts and blog writers was actually about The Game. How to win it, how not to lose it, and how much a win was needed and wanted.

And how possible that win actually was.

They picked Michigan to beat Ohio State. They believed it was possible. Hell, they believed it was probable.

Or at least they wanted to believe it was probable.

They had hope.

For maybe the last time.

After the game, the talk turned to OSU’s online classes and cheating and how it’s good that Michigan would never resort to such things.

The excuses emerged like unknown cousins following a lottery win, but if those excuses were such powerful factors in the game, why wouldn’t they have been brought up beforehand?

Why is it that no preview of The Game said anything about Michigan not having a chance because some of Justin Fields’ classes don’t take place in a classroom?

As if a classroom is the only setting where learning takes place. Ryan Day hasn’t needed a classroom to teach Michigan fans how to count into the 60s the last two years.

There was nary a mention of tattoos from 2010 in any positional breakdowns. What a gaffe!

You know what is more of a factor than a couple of online classes or some 10-year old tattoos?

Being able to run the ball.

You know what else?

Recruiting.

If you can’t do either of those things, then maybe it’s time to get a cottage up on the lake with Northwestern and read poetry together by the light of the fireplace.

But that’s not what Michigan is, even if sometimes they’d like you to think that. Let’s not forget that they are paying their coaching staff around $13 million a year, and they’re not doing it to make sure kids are reading Leaves of Grass.

Michigan fans don’t want to root for a football factory?

That’s a load of crap.

They’d give up Kurt Vonnegut’s left testicle to be in the College Football Playoff hunt every year.

All Michigan fans want is to be able to talk about football superiority. That’s what they talk about from January to September. I see it, I hear it, I interact with it. They want to root for a great program.

Resorting to spurious barbs about academics or cheating after yet another loss is the only lashing out that can be done as a fan base brushes off the dust and grass stains, checking for bruises, broken bones, and open wounds.

This is a Michigan fan base that probably doesn’t want to resort to excuses, but has had no choice for the last two decades.

They want to root for the program that so many promised them they had this year.

The one that was favored to win the Big Ten and go to the playoffs despite the fact that there was no defensive line depth, no running game, and multiple starters who would never see a starting lineup at Ohio State.

But they had a quarterback and… the law of averages?

Here’s a tip for you — the only thing the law of averages has ever won is a coin toss.

Really hard to find this stuff - took me all of 2 minutes "Brian":

https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/academics/stories/2008/03/athletes_safe_harbor_is_genera.html

Some of my favorite quotes:

• Five athletes had taken Education 462, a Web-based simulation and mentoring class, a total of six times, with a grade point average of 3.80.

• The 21 athletes who took 32 graded courses from Hagen (a professor who specializes in teaching athletes) had a combined grade point average of 3.62 in his courses, compared to an overall grade point average of 2.57 in their other classes.

Admittedly this article is a bit dated, but I am open to Brian providing an update.

True that - but the father is no longer employed at UM either.

But this is the paragraph I found most interesting:

And this is not the first time that Harbaugh has dipped into the parent pool. He hired Gwen Bush as player development coordinator soon after he got the job in January 2015. Her son, defensive back Wayne Lyons, transferred in as a graduate student. U-M linebacker Devin Bush Jr. committed to Michigan in December 2015 and, a few months later, his father, Devin Sr., joined the U-M staff. And U-M assistant head coach Biff Poggi came to the program where his son Henry was a fullback.

And there is also this:

Harbaugh’s made similar moves before. He hired Paramus Catholic (N.J.) head coach Chris Partridge to his staff in January 2015, and Partridge became a key player in the Wolverines’ landing of five-star PC defensive tackle Rashan Gary in 2016 and four-star linebacker Drew Singleton in 2017.

Here is a cut-and-paste from the MSU board from 2016:

"Michigan is a good school and I got a good education there," Harbaugh said. "But the athletic department has ways to get borderline guys in and, when they're in, they steer them to courses in sports communications. They're adulated when they're playing, but when they get out, the people who adulated them won't hire them.” Jim Harbaugh 2007

A decade later and Jim Harbaugh is the CEO of Michigan football and has done nothing to change the program’s academic scandal. It is an embarrassment to the University of Michigan, their athletic program, the state of Michigan, and college football in general.

Let's start with the freshmen. Breaking down the 2016 Michigan football roster of 85 scholarship football players, there are 20 true freshmen this fall. All twenty of them have majors undeclared. Michigan gets a pass on that given that the majority of these “student” athletes are three weeks into their rigorous academic future. Interestingly though, a spot check of MSU’s freshmen show only a handful of no preference majors.

The sophomore (high school 2015) class includes another 20 players. These twenty players feature 16 players in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) and all with undeclared majors. Two others are overall undeclared, while two are in the School of Kinesiology, major undeclared. Of the forty players Jim Harbaugh has recruited, not a single one has actually declared a major. Zero for forty.

The third year (high school 2014) class of 15 players is improved, by exactly one “student” athlete. Congratulations to Noah Furbush who is enrolled in Aerospace Engineering. Noah stands out among his Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior peers as the one player in 55 who has declared a major. Congratulations Mr. Furbush, you're at the top of the Delta pledge class.

Restating that in case a UM “Student” athlete is trying to read this: One (1) player out of 55 has declared a major. One!

So surely things must be better amongst the fourth year and fifth year players? Well, not so much. The junior/senior (high school 2013) class includes 18 scholarship players and only seven of them have managed to declare a major. Of the remaining 11 players, eight are undeclared in LSA and three are undeclared in Kinesiology. The seven that actually found a major are in LSA – African Studies (2), LSA -English (1), LSA – Sociology (1), Kinesiology – Sports Mgmt (1), and our old favorite LSA – General Studies (2).

So 61% of Michigan’s fourth year football players have not yet figured out a major? Worse, only eight players out of 73 players from class of 2013+ have declared a major? That is 90%!

That leaves us with the inspiring group of eleven players who are fifth year seniors. All eleven have actually declared a major! That is serious progress. Here is the breakdown:

5 – LSA General Studies
5 – LSA Sociology
1 – LSA Environmental
1 – LSA American Culture
1 – Kinesiology – Sports Management

So let’s review the “General Studies” degree as well as the “LSA – Sociology” degree. There are thirteen Michigan football players combined in these two majors. That represents 65% of the Michigan football team that has declared a major. That is an extremely high number when contrasted versus the just over one percent in those majors across the entire University of Michigan.

FACT: Over two thirds of the Michigan football team with majors are in degrees that account for 1% of the overall student population.

This is incredibly shocking behavior by Michigan and everyone seems to be ignoring it. The one exception of course is the 2007 Jim Harbaugh. Wonder what happened to that man?
