2017-2018 OOC Schedule

And if they do get calls, remind the callers that for every $1 spent on basketball, Marquette makes $7. If their ADPR major child can match that ROI then they can complain.

Do students' parents actually know when their child's grades are posted and/or see their grades?

Some do. Depends on their level of involvement in their kids' lives. I knew kids whose parents had a better idea of when their grades would be posted than the kids themselves

[Jay Bee]

JB, I honestly don't care that much. I hope he plays.  Clearly all his exams will be over and his course work completed.  If Wojo wants to ask the 4-5 professors to turn in Harry's grades on Monday morning then I'll all for it.  I'm sure as brew pointed out that he's eligible as soon as his semester is officially over (last exam) and his grades are posted.  I'm simply pointing out that for all 'regular' kids that happens Tuesday at 5.

Well, no, that's not what you said. You said MU WON'T post early for a player. You said it'll be 5pm Tuesday, period. That's the issue. Now you're saying something very different.

Why is Marquette playing Georgia?  Georgia sucks.  Of all the teams in the NCAA to do a home and home series with, Marquette chose Georgia?

Because it's a team that boosts our resume plus we had a good chance to beat them twice. Its an ideal home and home opponent.

Georgia was 51 in the RPI last season. They blew 5 game last year. Would have easy been in the "Big Dance"

[TrueWarrior]

Big fan of the schedule this year.

Your constant negativity is perplexing.

American on December 21st

Georgia was 51 in the RPI last season.

No they weren't. Not on selection Sunday and not to end the year.

This exactly. Georgia is an ideal non-con home-and-home. Best case scenario is a team good enough to give two top-100 wins, but not good enough to sweep the series (like Vandy and Ohio State did, woof).

Personally, I'd rather see bubble or NIT teams like Georgia, Clemson, Illinois, or Colorado than higher profile but also higher risk opponents like Florida, UNC, Michigan State, or Arizona.

Give me two good wins over two great losses any day.

Due to fed rules if over 18 they have to consent for school to release grades to the parents. Howard first semester was 17 (did you know?) so he was out of luck

Actually not true. Under FERPA, Markus is treated as a college student, not a a 17 year old. So he needs to consent in order for the school to release grades to his parents.

Ok then I guess most advisors at Colleges don't know. Had 3 at three different U's and all told me the same that because they were adults I had to ask them to give consent, was told that if they had been minors didn't need to. Good to know

[Mr. Nielsen]

That was off the top of my head. Looks like 52.

Since Final Exams end on the 16th (no more Saturday exams? Damn, kids are lucky they don't have that crap anymore) he can play:

14.4.3.3: If a student-athlete's academic eligibility changes at the end of a quarter or semester, the student-athlete shall become eligible or ineligible to compete on the date his or her eligibility officially is certified by the appropriate institutional authority. In a case in which the student becomes eligible at the end of the term, the earliest date on which the student can become eligible to compete is the day after the date of the last scheduled examination listed in the institution's official calendar for the term that is ending.

I think advisors just say that because its easier to explain than going into the details of FERPA.

Wojo's thoughts on the non-con

[jsglow]

Well, no, that's not what you said. You said MU WON'T post early for a player. You said it'll be 5pm Tuesday, period. That's the issue. Now you're saying something very different.

Fine, I'm saying something different. While they might release grades to Wojo for purposes of playing that night, they surely won't be posted on checkmarq. 

Why do you guys care so much about this crap? (Not referring specifically to you JB.)  I'm simply saying that until the semester is completed as evidenced by posted final grades, the semester isn't 'completed'.  And for 12,000 students that happens at 5p on Tuesday. Not suggesting in any way that dovetails with NCAA regs which might provide a loophole that the university chooses to exploit.  Originally I said I didn't think they would.  Maybe I'm wrong.  We'll find out next December.  Or is it THIS December?  And is THAT too worthy of 5 more pages of drivel?

Have a nice day all.

Looks like you're quoting 14.4.3.4, not 14.4.3.3, and 12/16 is a Saturday... so he should be OK to play on 12/17, in time for the game on 12/18, so long as grades are in.

See you 12/18, Harry!!

Some do. Depends on their level of involvement in their kids' lives. I knew kids whose parents had a better idea of when their grades would be posted than the kids themselves

Most I know pay attention.  $50K a year is a lot of money.  Now most might not know the exact specifics but recall that we put two kids through (16 combined semesters) and the process has never changed.

In contrast, we know nothing about our daughter's graduate experience other than what she tells us.  Not our bill; none of our business.
