If this was said when it all went down I apologize but I heard this this morning and wanted to share. Seems like Mika'il had a hard time making it to class. Well, how about never went to class. This would explain or at least shed some light into his suspension and transfer. Not something that can be released by KF or the university.

Ferentz just can't relate to the modern athlete.......And Erb is a disaster - can't build a relationship with his players to prevent this kind of thing......

Apparently this is a theme with most of our ex running backs (minus coker)

Fire them. I can believe that the ferentz apologists would want a student athlete to be a student also.

If the RBs can't make it to class, can't the athletic department just pay the prof. to go to the RB??

I thought Ejiasi's (sp?) role was to hold hands and skip with these kids to all of their classes. Obviously he failed.

The kid picked the wrong school then if he thought he could get away with that. Probably why he saw no playing time. He should have gone SEC. Alot of kids think they are going to be pros,never thinking of plan B. If he never goes to class, then I can imagine what else he is getting into.

If you're a student, it's on you to get to class. People can help with that, but ultimately, the personal responsibility is on the student athlete.

I think McCall went to the wrong school. Some universities actually have rules. Iowa is one of them.

You are right. The coaches have no responsibility over their department besides fundamentals and x's and o's. You guys are clueless.

Or more likely you are.....by the way I’m pretty sure Erb has been involved with special teams from the beginning. Who did you say as clueless ?

Ultimately, it's on the kid to go to class. I am sure you went to college and understand how that works. The coaches have responsibility over the program but they do not have to hold the player's hands to get them to class or keep them out of trouble.

what are they (coaches) supposed to do if a kid isn't going to class or making the grades. I mean what can they do???

suspend him??

Fact is, some people aren't cut out for college. Ferentz and other college football programs and University's give out free college in exchange for the playing of a game. And, while I understand it is a bit of work to play a sport and attend school (though to be realistic, a good chunk of athletes are taking fairly easy courses.), if free school isn't incentive enough to attend class. That's on the student athlete.
