re: MSU getting roasted on ESPN's Around the Horn!

Here is how I see it. When there is a big game, I could see it being understandable if the professors said, attendance is optional. Because, believe it or not, there are some students that go to class regardless. Like the foreign students. I can see where it can cause some discussion. I mean, it is an academic institution shutting the doors for a football game. Goes for any school. Classes should remain open, but students shouldn't have an absence counted against them if they don't show up.
