I remember watching and got the impression that Chauncey's grades were never an issue. Crazy

Must've been the part where Kam Carter said, "Chauncey smart as 17, dog."

I wish co Lin would use this as ammo to get some higher rated transfers in.
I.e. Don't go to emcc... they can't get you qualified

I never cease to be amazed at how slow the NCAA clearinghouse works.
It's just incredible to me that, after signing in December last year, they haven't worked this out yet
Hey, cut them some slack! The entire NCAA had to be used in Oxford for the last 4 years!!

Exactly! But Wagner never had conversations with Rivers about his grades....at least not in the documentary.

Someone is incompetent, so who is it? EMCC or MSU? How the 17 does this happen?

I heard she was worried about a dead rabbit

I may be wrong here but I read or heard somewhere the issue is too many hours in too short of a time. Mullen said there is some kind of new rule for Juco playes that was instituted 2 years ago. In the last episode of Last Chance U, a player was trying to get a last minute on-line course. I suppose they have to try and get those hours quick so they can enroll in January at D1 schools. This makes me think back to Donte Jones the basketball player, who was on MSU's Final Four team. He got some unreal number of hours the summer before he enrolled at State, something like 90 hours.

Yeah there has had to be a lot of changes with that. You can do summer classes so easily now that folks were doing like 8-10 classes worth of remediation in one summer and getting qualified. As a high school teacher that's obviously undermining to what we do in the classroom, but it's also ridiculous to think someone could learn, with a reasonable degree of knowledge, 8-10 classes worth of material in a couple months.
And what passes for an online class can sometimes be very murky. The NCAA has tightened their acceptance of those classes significantly over the past few years.

I think it was around 36 hours which a lot of those hours were actually from USM. You can't transfer more than half what it takes for your degree and it is around 60 hours to "graduate" from Juco. There is also the new progression rules for NCAA where you have to be working towards a degree. You can't just take a bunch of freshman classes to stay eligible but it also doesn't allow you to change your degree if it is going to set you back. I have a friend that played under Jackie who wanted to change from a Biology track to Accounting. He was able to get the degree where you combine majors instead. It was something like Marketing/Biology because the Accounting level classes would have pushed him back a year.

Basically a little more than double what would count as full-time summer enrollee. NCAA passed essentially the Donte Jones rule that limited how many hours you could get in a summer i think. Then later they had to go back and implement a rule regarding how many hours could come from correspondence courses because of players having a suspicious number of their hours coming from correspondence (that rule may have finally been triggered by an ole miss player I think?)
