Ole Miss is a bad school academically. Water is wet.

Easy to get into =/= bad academically. We aren't elite but bad isn't correct either.

People who take issue with our entrance requirements should take it up with the state. No university in the state of Mississippi can set their own admissions requirements.

Maybe if Sark stopped drinking and marrying strippers he would have time to read and educate himself

Funny enough, this is sort of true as you are not allowed to waive the residency requirements for both schools (and all SEC schools require some type of residency) Texas is way more over the top for number of hours and has a few added wrinkles.

It looks like Texas, Vandy, and A&M require 60, UGA at 45, and the rest at 30, but how you do those 30 are up to a variety of interpretations.

Mississippi schools require the last 30 hours completed in the institution (or 25% depending on how it is written) to receive your undergraduate degree. This is typical and can be gamed a bit depending on how you assign transferred credits in major. You can easily set it up to coast as a transfer depending on how well your academic support staff is.

Texas requires 60 hours plus 6 advanced major hours. That means that Jrs and Srs are going to have to do 2 full years of course work for Texas (which gets into the weird APR model) to graduate. The additional 6 in major makes things harder, but then again can be gamed.

Grad is a max of 12 transferred in at the Mississippi schools and only 6 to Texas. That is a big deal for grad students and falls into the question of how many of there students ever actually receive a degree as a grad transfer.

So Sark has a point, but so does A&M and Vandy. The bigger deal isn’t just the hours, it is the upper division course requirements and how easy it is to game that part of the system.

Texas coaches complaining about unfair advantages

Sark needs to go ahead and run to the NFL. Athletic department on 3rd base and complaining about Ole Miss what a clown. No one feels sorry for a sitting Texas coach complaining about adversity

ETA: also CAA marching orders must be out to defend Lane. Really convenient that Lane made an arse of himself in vanity fair and then his buddy sark has to come deflect from Kiffin stepping on his own dick.

"if you play here and want a degree."

Are we pretending players that are transferring and that UT would want still care about this?

Sark hates Pete Golding, and thus by extension, the place he works.

Wait, there's people still out there pretending that college football players are "students"? Interesting take, Sark.
