There was a news article recently claiming Stetson Bennet, with 6 years of college, doesn’t have a degree.
I’m in the minority on this, but I don’t give a freak about STM kids unless UL is their FIRST choice. Yeah we have a bunch that “came home”…most after washing out elsewhere. Yes, there are other kids from other local schools, but the letters STM gets some people all tingly.

This situation is not a big deal since we are talking about a walkon. Guy is unlikely to see much playing time. The best thing walkons bring to programs is providing decent competition to the scholarship guys in practice. Ideally, they help the regulars improve.

This post nailed it.
Re: Any Jordan Brown update?
The walk on joke regarding STM was asking whether or not the individual paid tuition. Many on here have complained when.other Christian schools had athletes that didn't pay the full.tuition and/or were "recruited", thus I was curious about STM... not sure how only responding to certain posters and analyzing their post contributes to the topic. I'd be curious to know how many credits from UL/USL some on here have and if they would even have been accepted under the more stringent Tier 1 status and before that open admissions ending

It is also illegal for athletes to receive transportation from staff members and/or use government funded vehicles. Yet there is now evidence that the UGA football team did this on at least four occasions, yet no investigation from the ncaa.

Yeah, usually it takes someone dying before the NCAA makes a move on such….oh wait…

Interesting spin.
"Worthy of this team" is very much based on Mr. Brown returning.

Then go hang out at the admissions office...they'll answer all your questions about credits, admission, grad school admission, transfers, grad transfers, drop/add/practice time, scholarships, grades, car wrecks, and who the F cares....geezus man...what an attitude to be so accusatory...
And while we're at it, since you always fail to post anything to do with UL games or players.. but always the above referenced questions...when WAS the last time you viewed (pick a platform) a UL athletic event? Cause you never comment on games or player performance...just curious from someone who can't hold a candle to your self indulgent academic attitude/accomplishments

A. Hard to believe the schedule was changing that much during the course of this thread
B. And even harder to believe Mr. Brown is holding off on his decision based on those changes.
