Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 593966, member: 153"] I don't blame any of the coaches for this. Frankly I thought the whole Warde waiting for Ollie's grades thing was a complete farce. It's up to the university, the academic side, to negotiate how far they are willing to drop the standards. The thing is, as years go by, I'm less and less hung up on all this, because now the farce has seeped over to the academic side, and you see the same sort of fudges trying to get regular students through to graduation with lower standards. It's gotten to the point where they should just reduce time to degree to 3 years and lower requirements instead of setting up cash cow intersession courses. Those are all the rage all over America (no student loans or scholarship money allowed to pay for those courses; it's straight cash!). [/QUOTE]
