I've been hearing the "academic standard" excuse from the Ticks for years. Does anyone know what those requirements are for their athletes? What is JMU's requirements? How do these requirements compare to say Williams and Mary?

If a schools minimum GPA is say 3.5 for non athletes, is that requirement the same for athletes?

It can really run the gamut.....but as a private school, RU has way more latitude with regard to 'academic standard' than state schools like JMU & W&M. As a private school RU could choose to do whatever they want.......similar to our friends from the South at Liberty where if you fog the mirror you are good.

If he truly believes that I have far less respect for him as a coach.

I hope he goes back to what he did so well at JMU.. QB sideline checks every play. Maybe they'll even throw the ball!

I hope he's that clueless facing us because it's gonna be a lot of fun tearing his offense to shreds.

Has he already brought Kirby Long on board to teach the techniques associated with the WR end-around was a staple of his offense ( you know the one that was predictable from about a mile away )
