What an absolute joke. Guess that explains how MT6 went from ineligible to playing vs Bama 4 days before kickoff. Per the article:
Why Jimbo lied and said MT6 was "sick" the first week he found out he was ineligible, "One issue was that students were not allowed to make up missed assignments without a documented excuse, such as a medical problem, approved by the university."
Then after Jimbo lied about MT6 being sick we learn that, "Several players were allowed to make up missed assignments and quizzes long past the deadlines, even though course policy said it was “unacceptable to wait until the last week of class” to request it"
Classic example of how FSU operates:
"It was Mr. Wilder’s insistence that he should get a grade of B that seemed to have caused the most consternation. In his email to Professor Bonn, he claimed he had submitted work that he had not been credited for, while also acknowledging missing a handful of assignments and quizzes.
In response to the professor’s query, Ms. Suggs wrote that she “carefully reviewed James Wilder’s grades and can assure you that the work he missed is because he did not do it or did not turn it in.” She added, ”It is my opinion that he should have done the work like everyone else.”
Ms. Suggs had already graded Mr. Wilder’s final project, a PowerPoint presentation comparing coffee in Argentina and Kenya, which was incomplete. But Professor Bonn instructed her to allow him to submit missing sections and set a new deadline, prompting her to seek guidance from Mr. Sizemore, her colleague who had expressed concern about Professor Bonn’s “favoritism for athletes.”
