Stetson reportedly changed his major - I did too and it took almost 5 years to get my undergrad degree - and he transferred back into UGA from a Jr college. Credits don’t always transfer as my neighbors son found out. And he got the extra Covid year. The guy wanted to play football at UGA and met NCAA requirements to do so. And he won BIG!
Stetson is gonna be just fine.
To quote Taylor Swift “Haters gonna hate”. And since Stetson beat every team he played for two years - even Bama in the Natty - he has a lot of haters.

'The NCAA statistics can often be very misleading, which is the case here,'' Vols Coach Phillip Fulmer said.

About that 8% graduation rate. Y’all need to do more than read headlines.

Maybe some weren’t transferable

If that’s the case the he should not have been allowed into UGA. As an alleged attendee of UGA are you not familiar with what is required to transfer from a JUCO to UGA?

Sure, but Doing the bare minimum to maintain eligibility with wasted classes and other issues could result in no degree.


There is a progress towards a degree requirement to play sports.

Do the math slick, I have already demonstrated that it should not have happened. Unless he was not enrolled at UGA other than football season from 2019 on it doesn’t work. If he participated in spring and summer he was enrolled or UGA broke rules.

Interesting way to spin it. I guess we can do the same.

He was eligible.

I bet it’s not as simple as your simple mind claims. Anways, he progressed enough to be eligible.

Using my hint, and your mind, Which 4 year period did I allegedly attend uga?

All teams were graded the same way. There are always reasons for ups and downs but being less than half the average is difficult to understand.

Agree, but it Goes along with the misleading claim.

Yup, he definitely didn't accomplish anything at UGA. His life would've been way better off playing junior college ball in Mississippi.

He probably would've had time to clutch pearls & post on tRant

At the height of Tennessee’s golden era (in which they won a single National championship and failed to win a Heisman trophy with Peyton Manning), Fulmer’s players took a class on walking.

UTk has no room to talk.

Irrelevant to my point that there is a Major difference between 5 and 7 years.


It’s not irrelevant you potato. He was in college for SEVEN years, and should have, by virtue of requirements of a collegiate athlete, received enough credit to graduate

He is your opportunity to do the math and show your work. We have a set number of knowns (walkon standards set by UGA, transfer standards set by UGA, scholarship standards set by the NCAA, Bennetts known years in school, the fact he doesn’t have a degree) do the math, show your work or, sit back down and sit this one out.

With the accompanying explanation? By all means show your work. I presented the math for the 8% graduation rate nonsense. By all means do the leg work for the Bennett no degree stuff, the arrests, the 41% graduation rate, the 5 months to dismiss a guy that did the high speed chase with the cops, the Adams allowed to play with rape allegations and suspended but still having full access to the department despite a restraining order.

By all means clear the air on this stuff sunshine.

So funny, you spend your entire day wrapped up in Georgia. Kirby completely owns you.

You are the very definition of a loser.

Plus, stetson accomplished far more than your Peyton in college. Not even a fair comparison.

Harvard and Yale recruited him, he is wicked smart just had other ambitions....


Now tell us what you have done with your life that equals what Stetson has accomplished before he turned 24?

Payton was prepared for a career in the NFL and beyond.

Bennett spend his time in Athens developing a drug habit.
