Just about 5 on Friday. Any news?

Just about 5 on Friday. Any news?

There doesn't seem to be any, does there?  No news is good news, I believe.  Today is the Friday after second semester grades came out, so I'm thinking this would have been the day we would have heard.

It appears we have a bunch of no-nothing blowhard asshats who post here. No surprise.

Oh really?? Hmmmm....well just because nothing hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it isn't going to. It's a complicated issue, and is going to take some time. Did anyone say that something would be known this Friday?? No! People made assumptions. I'm done posting info here.

So what's the complicated part? If there are new standards,grades are posted. Have they not yet decided how to apply them? Are there no new standards? At this stage, shouldn't all the policy decisions and criteria be outlined for the students so they know what they needed to do?

I haven't seen this much suspense since when Michael Bay missed the mark when he made Pearl Harbor.

These are complete hypotheticals because I have not heard anything:

**A player may be working with a professor on make up type work which would lead to a grade change.  (ie, the Fab Melo appeal)

**If a player isn't coming back, they may delay an announcement because Buzz is working with them on a JUCO transfer, etc.

Look, Buzz said earlier that the players are due back this week for summer school.  I hope every single player is back and in-class and in the weight room on Monday.  We will find out shortly.

While grades have been posted, Incompletes could be in resolution.  Should know soon if anyone else is leaving the program.

There are two summer school sessions to raise a persons grade. Unless a player is totaling failing with no hope, I would not expect anyone to be forced out before summer school. I could also see players bounced, if they get into trouble during the summer. We will know in September, who is still on the team.

Ah...do the summer school courses count toward this past academic year's overall GPA?  If so you are correct.

There are some limits in this regard.

Yeah, it looks like you, Hoop, Dimes and Lab are the only MU fans left who aren't totally out of their minds crazy. I sure hope you're right about Buzz being happier than ever, standards not changing for athletes, etc.

I believe even if the standards change, we will field a good basketball team and be fine.  If Buzz cannot accomplish that, then someone else will.  It is not as if tough standards are preventing teams from success in college basketball.

Lenny, I'm kinda in the middle on all of this. While we do have some over the top "insider" coments here, they have actually made me listen a little deeper to what Buzz has said lately, and I do think there have been some things that have taken some of his "happy" away.

I'd much rather deal with what happened instead of rumors of what is going to happen. When we get the posts about Buzz being just this close to going to SMU, I have a hard time keeping from laughing. If Buzz IS who we think he is, I would guess there is pretty much a 0% chance of him leaving for SMU. Someone even stated that one of the pluses of the SMU job was having big money donors like Craig James & the Hunt brothers. Since James helped cause the death penalty for the school once, I'm guessing the guy who has been called the most-hated man in Texas is not a positive when when it comes to hiring a coach.

So you're okay if our standards are higher than Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Villanova etc.? Fine. How do you think Painter, Crean, Bo, Boeheim or Wright woulld be with it if their administration  upped their standards while the rest of their competition stood pat? Of course, that won't happen. Nobody could be that stupid/shortsighted. Right?

I have taken your insults for almost two months and now really go Fxxk yourself. It would have been nice to see a post that included some information along with your insults. You have added nothing to any post, yet you expect credibility. Would have thought Topper adding that he heard similar things from reliable sources would mean something.

[Canadian Dimes]

Lenny,

My only issue is i have not seen one iota of evidence that any of this is true.  People have predicted the end of the world, yet your post tasks me and others with proving that end of the world is in fact not happening!  Occam

Do you think anything ever happens behind the scenes and info is kept confidential? Things may happen over time and on one knows until after the fact. Did you know the BE was blowing up in advance or did it catch you by surprise?

Yes, the requirements for GPA are at the start of each school year.  The NCAA only allows, though, 6 summer credits.
