The first comment was great. "He's a man! He's 40!"

A lot of sour grapes if you ask me. Nothing we wouldn't do. It's like finding and taking tax breaks, whatever is legal. I just wish some of those boneheads played for us.

I'm actually kind of impressed that they found this person who fit the loophole.

Why do they even make these rules.

Interdisciplinary studies. The entire system is a joke. Just win baby

Yeah. The idea that the "average" student takes 4-5 years to graduate and it's being done in 3 or 3.5 years is why few folks really need to "brag" about APR's or grad rates.

Once a former player is 40 (or 80, for that matter), there are no longer NCAA regulations on monetary transactions. So, a University could theoretically pay a former player TONS of money to enroll, attend classes, and graduate. The rule allowing them a credit for athletes that come back and finish their education clearly needs an upper bound on the time limit.

Yep and that usually involves summer classes too.

which is partially why they are graduating in 3-3.5 years. Regular students usually don't take summer school.

Athletes didn't used to, either.

That grad transfer rule is incentive.

So there is no difference if a school graduates everyone or has a problem graduating their athletes? You are (again) taking an isolated, rare event and making a judgement that is extreme at best and not very logical at worst.

Memphis Basketball APR

2012 NCAA Tournament
- Tied for 1st (perfect APR of 1,000) among all participants

2013 NCAA Tournament
- Tied for 2nd among all participants

No difference compared to Oklahoma State, and no reason to boast, correct?
