WOW!!!Good scoring average and good classroom average in tough stuff. I'd love to have him working for me after he's finished college and his basketball career. I think most of us feel the same way!
Too bad Justin isn't more interested in receiving his degree. Basketball is only temporary. Education is forever.
NCAA rules now allow schools to pay student athletes up to $ 5,980 per year for academic achievement. Last month UW-Madison announced that they were going to start doing this. Haven't heard anything about MU starting such a program. This would seem like a good thing for MU to help it's basketball recruiting a little bit - but maybe with Title IX, etc. they'd have to do it for all the non-revenue sports as well, making it too expensive for MU ?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Up to $5980 for "academic achievement"? Does the school get to decide the payment threshold? If so, I'm for: "hey kid, if you keep your grades high enough so your eligible to play, we'll pay you the maximum amount allowed" for everyone on the roster, including walk-ons.
