Bielema: JoJo, unfortunately, is probably going to have to look at opportunities outside of Arkansas.

It isn't like he hasn't had his chances or didn't know exactly what was expected of him.

Something about privileged not a right...

The kid has had WAY too many chances to clean up his act and still hasn't, best of luck wherever else he goes

Marquel Wade part deux without the rap sheet.

I can't think of a bigger WR bust for us in the last few years.

Hate to lose a talent, but he had a ton of chances and could never seem to pull his head out of his arse.

This is why Bielema may never get over the hump. Instead creating an entire department and degree for athletes to fluff through he's expecting stud athlete street kids to dedicate themselves to academics like they have a governor's scholarship and are trying to get inti med school.

Not really, he's expecting them to drag their arse out of bed and go to their one or two classes a week during the season and maintain a C average.

I mean, these kids have it so rough...

Good to see his parents don't care if he misses class.

I just don't know what to think about all this. The kid has got a lot of chances and just can't do right, but if what she says is true that seems like a lot of ticky tack bullshite that doesn't really seem like that big of a deal. I wish Bert would let us in on what really has gone on there. Curious minds want to know.

I'm sure he was suspended for not tying his cleats and that there's nothing else to the story, right? And that, for whatever reason, the football coach took action and suspended him because of a late rent payment, and that's all there is to that story.

She totally kills her argument with the last statement, defending her son who's getting a FREE college education in trade for playing a sport and having a few things expected of him. So what if he skipped class, the professor said attendance isn't mandatory! Well no shite Sherlock, all professors say that because no college class IS mandatory. You are free to leave them at any time, or not even show up if you don't want to. Just don't plan on making decent grades or staying in the class. Also, even if it's not required by the professor, he knew that it's a requirement from the football coaches.

Parents that make excuses and try to pass the blame for their kid's frickups annoy the hell out of me. Obviously they're a major part of the problem when it comes to their child's failures.

Regardless if it's true or not, 100+ other kids are apparently handling those "demands" just fricking fine. She's making excuses, and it just makes her look worse. Should've just came out and said something about supporting her son and helping him through this, not trying to pin the blame elsewhere.

Sadly I've already seen some of our fans buying what she's selling.
