Good to see that a lot of these guys are scholarship guys. Usually most of the guys on the list are walk-ons, but quite a few of these guys are contributors or future contributors.

Yea, that is clearly the new "find me something easy" major.
quote:
The degree includes a 34-hour core of kinesiology courses. Students then opt to take 36-39 hours in 2 or 3 concentrations. These concentrations are fitness, nutrition, business, health promotion, coaching/sport skill, preprofessional track, and disability sports.

what is this, exactly?
I don't know what Human Environmental Science is, but Richard Mullaney was a graduate transfer. I'm assuming that was picked because Oregon State doesn't offer it and it was a major he could take at Bama. Isn't one of the requirements of a graduate transfer that the major you are transferring into is offered at your new school but not at your old school?

I think that used to be the rule. I think that the new rule is that once you graduate from undergraduate school you can transfer wherever regardless.

Oh? I thought they were trying to make it harder to be a graduate transfer. I think allowing them to transfer anywhere is a better way to do things.
ETA: I don't even like the transfer rules for undergrads.

I'm not 100% positive. I feel like I remember reading that the rules that applied to Masoli going from Oregon to Ole Miss changed right after he transferred and that is why there are so many more graduate transfer kids now, but like I said, I could be wrong.

It's pretty easy to achieve academic honors when you dress up underwater basket weaving as a science

Exercise Science must have replaced General Studies as the new hot major.
The friends I had that took exercise science as a major had to take quite a lot of regular science courses. I wouldn't necessarily call it an easy major. I don't doubt a lot of athletes probably declare as that early on with that frame of mind, though

That was my original thought too, but after looking at the breakdown of the classes on UA's website it looks like you take a lot of "Kinesiology" Science classes and not nearly as many classes in the actual Sciences departments.

Which every school sans Vanderbilt in the SEC does, so shouldn't all of them have a billion kids on the list?

Yep. Pretty sure his final undergraduate GPA was 4.0 as an accounting major. That is ridiculous for anyone, led alone a football player.

Some are just better at covering. We have a dumb arse on our academic review board who turns in everything

Or maybe we have a regimented system in place that makes sure kids perform at an average to above average level in the classroom.
I'm not naive enough to think our kids all care about school (at all), but I do think there is a culture in place that says you better not f' around with class or you won't have a place in the program for long.
