F HBO. I happy Mayweather took his talents to Showtime.

They need to carry their butts over to some SEC football schools ...jeeezzz

I think they finally figured out that the basketball players are taking slack ass courses and getting degrees in "interdisciplinary studies"

My major was Interdisciplinary Studies. If you think it's easy then you have a basic misunderstanding of the structure.

So... If ya get a "BUS" degree from Duke, is it better?

BUS DEGREE = A degree awarded for no particular area of study but, you've been at school long enough so this degree gets you on the bus outta here.

I understand the structure
I was married to someone who had that as a major too
It can be used in many ways--one of which is to get out of school easily and quickly which is what SHE did. Not saying you did.

I was just poking fun tho. Carry on. I've known you a while and you're a smart dude. Never in dispute.

No problem. I know it can be abused, it's just that since the course structure is flexible some folks think that means it's easy. It was actually much harder than when I was majoring in English alone.

Oh well, it's game day, no fights, no worries, no alcohol until after noon.

uh oh

They are bringing up UNC like there is something new?

This has been stirring around for 2 years in Chapel Hill. Kids took classes that didn't really exist, the professor is under indictment, we know.

It is. It's focused on Cal's time. They will get into how Pastner has changed it. Known this series was coming for a while. Inside sources.

I'm about to start

Water is wet!

Again, that explains a lot.

Just because there's "never a disagreement" doesn't denote the agreement as being correct.

Never being punished for stealing doesn't mean one isn't a thief.

Smart man/woman.


Now go Tigers!

They should investigate the anomaly of all anomalies; How Eric Bledsoe got a D- in Algebra I in high school, but somehow was able to get an "A" in both Algebra II and Algebra III without having any of the textbooks in his possession and while taking both classes at the same time. (One in the day, and one at night.) It's amazing how the kid went from sucking at math to a super genius right after committing to Kentucky. I'd really like for him to write his memoirs on that. That would be impossible though, because to write a memoir you have to know what a pen looks like, and be able to spell words other than your own name.
