Mavric Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Sounds like there may be a few guys who don't get to play in the bowl game because of grades. I didn't see it but Riley apparently hinted at that sometime lately and another source is reporting it. No word on who. Finals are next week so it's possible they won't know until after they're in San Francisco because they'll have to leave for the early bowl game before all grades are posted. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 This seems to be an annual bowl game tradition for a lot of schools. See Santos last year... Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Haven't grades been one of the issues with Wilbon this year? Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 That's too bad. Maybe about mid-October they figured it wouldn't matter. Oh well. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Word is there are at least seven players in danger of missing the bowl game. At least five are starter-caliber defensive players. Everyone travels because they won't find out for sure until they're in California (when grades are posted). Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 This is very concerning Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well its a good thing we got the 13 extra practices for the young guys. Step up time.. Quote Link to comment

I'd be issuing some serious team discipline or asking guys to move on. Undergrad is not that difficult and I'm betting not too many are pre-med. Kind of ironic though that they got in because of their academic progress rate. Probably can thank the walk on program for that. Quote Link to comment

Everyone travels because they won't find out for sure until they're in California (when grades are posted). If this is the case...how many times has this happened in the past bowl games for us? I guess I don't recall players missing for this reason but I'm sure it has happened. Quote Link to comment

They aren't gunna take a walk on who gets bare minimum grades to hurt the GPA of the team. Quote Link to comment
