Having said that (Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld hate that saying as much as I hate that team mentioned above), I've been thinking about these football players who opted out of playing this season, left school and more than likely stopped taking classes. Now, with the big 10 and others deciding to play games this fall, some of these same players are opting back in. My question is about their academic eligibility. I'm not too naive to think that the schools won't find a way around this but it only adds to how football/basketball is running these universities and not the other way around. And in my opinion, that's not a good thing.

Get ready for this very very very rigorous set of standards: By the START of sophomore year, you must: have a cumulative GPA of 1.8 have completed 36 units By the END of sophomore year, you must: declare a major By the START of junior year, you must: have a cumulative GPA of 1.9 have completed 72 units (40 percent of your total degree requirements) By the START of senior year, you must: have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 have completed 108 units (60 percent of your degree requirements) By the START of a fifth year, you must: have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 have completed 144 units (80 percent of your degree requirements) Back to Top bobcatsquared General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 5,277 Status: Offline     RE: question of eligibility    Posted: 9/25/2020 2:09:29 PM  For some reason, reading that list made me think of Andy Katzenmoyer.

Good one! But really, most of the students by that time were switching from Andy's major to Tattoo Art or Deliverer of Envelopes.

They also no longer offer the class he took in summer school to regain eligibility. Remember that classic course? No, it wasn't music appreciation, or Walter Seifert's famous Introduction to Public Relations, it was (drum roll) AIDS Awareness. I'm sure it was an extremely rigorous course that probed into all that was then known about AIDS and was probably taught by top medical school faculty. NOT!

I’m glad OHIO offers no classes that lack rigor.

I took it and there were three football players in the class, professor Eldridge had two 300 level classes, lol Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

I took it and there were three football players in the class, professor Eldridge had two 300 level classes, lol How many of you know that Jim Eldridge, his birth name, played football for the University of Michigan? He was a QB. According to his x-wife (now deceased) he was not a starter, but played a lot. Somewhere I have a team picture with him in it. He used to live two houses down from where we lived on Second Street. In those days everyone thought he looked like Robert F. Kennedy. Maybe he had a soft spot in his heart for football players. Wouldn't surprise me. The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Great guy, and I enjoyed the class a lot! He could take challenging topics and explain them in plain language that was easy to understand. He was always easily recognizable by his beret, white turtleneck, and work vest -- as well as by the fact that he vaguely resembled another Klaus! 🎅🏻 Back to Top OUcats82 General User Member Since: 1/9/2005 Location: Cincinnati, OH Post Count: 1,861 Status: Offline     RE: question of eligibility    Posted: 9/29/2020 10:45:59 AM  Long Train Runnin' wrote: OhioCatFan wrote: Long Train Runnin' wrote: Donuts wrote: How many Ohio athletes took an Æthelred Eldridge class and doodled on paper plates for a 400 level class?

E. Eldridge was certainly a unique guy. I worked as a manager at Galbreath Chapel where he reserved time regularly for his oratory work. Wasn't Golf part of Katzenmoyer's rigorous course load, too?
