I don't think Hawk has graduated yet. He still has a 5 credit statistics class he has to finish for his degree.

Yech. What's his major that he needs a beast of a class like that? He did cite having classwork to do as one of the many reasons he didn't go to New York.

I believe that it is Criminal Justice, or Criminology.

Sounds like an absurd rule by the NCAA.

Now, I think the NFL should be flexible in allowing players to finish school in the spring. The NFL and NCAA should negotiate a general understanding the college players won't be pressured to drop out of school.

The college players, actually former college players, are not slaves to the NCAA!! So what if a player wants to attend a minicamp in May? His former college coach has no control over him. The school can't permit a free person from traveling across state lines. Who would the NCAA punish if the kid went to minicamp in May?

I like the intention of the NCAA rule, but it is absurdly authoritarian to think they should control the behavior of exiting football players.

Perhaps I could tutor him, I got a "D" in my stats class back when I was in college.

I'm down with this, Murph.

Statisics and Organic Chemistry were so hard, I had headaches when I left the classroom and went to work at my bartending job!
