Just threaten your professor, or even better, have the AD do it, and you've instantly got a C average.

It's not that any student doesn't have the right to appeal a grade but how many actually get their grades changed and have their appeals processed so quickly? It's been less than a week since grades became official and all of a sudden he is eligible again? That's got to raise questions about academic integrity, or lack thereof.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-64103503905251040312009-12-21T21:03:20.813-07:002009-12-21T21:03:20.813-07:00Talking as a regular student who was able to get a...Talking as a regular student who was able to get a grade change after the end of the semester I can confirm that yes, regular students get the same treatment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-88926406437619678602009-12-21T20:00:17.832-07:002009-12-21T20:00:17.832-07:00I dont want to speak for 338, but I think he was a...I dont want to speak for 338, but I think he was asking if a regular student would actually get the oppoetunity to have it changed.

What happened to academic integrity? Is a player's eligibility more important than education and integrity nowadays? Both Troy and Wendell didn't take care of business during the semester and yet are given an opportunity to work things out with the faculty after the final grades were posted?<br /><br />Do all other students in the same classes with Troy and Wendell get a chance to have their grades changed as well? It is precisely this shadiness and behind the scene work with grades that makes people question what exactly is going on in athletics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
