Re: PROTECT US? They go out of their way to screw us whenever

And the worst part is Ford was never implicated in anything. It was all done by Charlie Pell who went down to Florida and did the same thing and screwed them after screwing us!

That probation that came down in 1989 was a total joke also. They spent over a year in Clemson and couldn’t find anything but they said you’re on probation for one year even though they were zero sanctions! So they can’t find anything but they put you on probation anyway!

Unless of course your name is North Carolina and you commit widespread academic fraud and they let you walk without even a slap on the wrist because technically there’s no rule against that. Never mind they have that little catchall thing called lack of institutional control! And in this case it wasn’t Just a lack of institutional control in the athletic department but the university has a whole! Any school not named Duke, UNC, Notre Dame, maybe one or two more would have been given the death penalty! The entire athletic department!

Don’t even get me started on Duke. Their basketball players can get a degree with less than 100 credit hours. The bare minimum to qualify as a full-time student is 12 credits per semester which is 96 credits for four years. And most of the classes the basketball players take are “independent studies “ which means not going to class and basically turning in a book report. So Duke goes around acting like their basketball players are these geniuses that are getting this great degree from Duke and all they’re doing is requiring that they meet the minimum standard to be a full-time student.

When I was at Clemson in the 80s it took at least 124 credit hours maybe 126 to get a Clemson degree. That was the minimum. Some majors required more credits. Engineering for example. Architecture. The accounting program is now a five-year program, whereas back then it was a four year program. I haven’t looked at a catalog in years, but that was the minimum number of credit hours in the academic catalog back in the 1980s at Clemson.

PROTECT US? They go out of their way to screw us whenever

Re: PROTECT US? They go out of their way to screw us whenever

I can't vouch for any other program, but I can ASSURE

What do you feel the ACC should be doing to protect us?

Ed Zachary. Nobody has ever had our back and thankfully we don’t need them to.
