You guys can do your own research, but if you check Palm Beach's catalog and calendar, which you can see online, you'll learn the following:

1. 18 hours is the maximum load, unless you have a 3.2 GPA, then you can take 21.
2. Saban's statement that they haven't received necessary info, and may never receive it, and that Alabama is moving on without Carter this year, coincides with the passing this week of Palm Beach's deadline to make up incomplete grades.
3. Graduation dates are set at the beginning of the academic year and are known well in advance.

Draw your own conclusions.

36 hours in one semester? This is only possible at the University of Phoenix.

I don't think the timing of Saban's announcement and the passing of the deadline to complete incomplete grades is a coincidence, IMO.

No, there's literally no way. I've never seen a school allow someone to take more than 21 hours in a semester. And 21 hours is usually suicide.

No one could handle 36 hours in 1 semester, clearly he MEANT to say 36 hours over the last year, but of course he's still a dumb-shite.


Not only can it be done---It has been done---------

Jones came to the junior college in 1993 and became one of the top community college players in the country. But when it came time to graduate after two years at Northeast, Jones still needed 36 hours of academic credit to move on to Mississippi State.

Jones made up the hours in one summer, in part by taking 13 hours of correspondence courses from the University of Southern Mississippi, and graduated in time to make fall basketball practice at Mississippi State.

Very fishy. If he's smart enough to get a 3.2 taking 18 hours a semester for 2 semesters straight, he's smart enough to know the difference between a year and a semester. I call it that Bama's up to it's old academic tricks again.

But then again, it was a Kansas JC he was gradumacatin' from. I learned first hand the difference in intelligence at JC's and 4-year institutions this week. I'm taking a grad level Venture Capital class and had a test this week that I take at a proxy test center at a community college. Here in OKC we have tons of Canadian geese everywhere, the flocks will cross the road and traffic stops, people honk and wait. I pull in to the CC and there's at least 8 cars in the two lanes waiting for f'n geese to cross the road. Meanwhile I've got shite to do. I wait about 20 seconds, about 6 more cars fill in behind me. I say F it, and I hop out the truck and run over clapping my hands and create a divide in the great wall of geese and boom wouldn't ya know road cleared. There's no telling how long those tards had been waiting for those birds to cross. The future of our fast food restaurants right there in front of me.
