Clearinghouse Troubles
Freshman quarterback Jesse Scroggins remains out of school because he is not academically cleared by the NCAA. Scroggins took a math course through independent study and the NCAA is still waiting for the transcript. But even with it, there might be a question by the NCAA whether he meets all the requirements.



independent studies? that shit doesn't even fly at community college
Who is, or more to the point, who is not properly advising these kids?
can it give him an extra year at usc? maybe he can get an mba by the time he's done.
i wish i did more independent studies in my day. one of my many regrets.
just saw reggie's two touchdown catches vs. va tech in '04. hopefully a preview for baxter. only god knows why bates (and sark?) didn't use mcknight like that.
bates was bad for us in so many ways
scinsc5, good question re: McKnight, since McKnight was known most of all for his sure, steady hands. Some suspected glue on his gloves, but USC scientists confirmed that it was pure talent and nerves of steel.
The senoritas trade tech spanish class had more integrity than "independent studies"..The more things change, the more they remain the same.
This could be your year!
Fite on!
admit it, you trolls are only fans, not graduates
good point re: mcknight. but, baxter is the dawn of a new day. mcknight and sanctions too shall pass.
Anyone watching Hard Knocks on HBO? It looks like McKnight is having a rough time adjusting to the NFL.
sweet scoop wolf. water covers 2/3 of the Earth.
auu-woo.
Gotta love how whenever intelligence is broached the accusers will start throwing out the word 'stupid.'
Less than 10% of Americans read books, so how smart is that?
Do you realize that if you read a book for only 30-minutes a day, 3% of your waking hours, that even if you are slow at say 40-pages per minute, you would be able to knock off a 500-page book every month.
Then you might be in a less hypocritical position, although not charitable,' to hurl 'dumb and dumber' at unfortunates.
Lawyer John, who you talking at?
I hate to point this out, LJ, but if you read a book at a "slow" 40-pages per minute (your words and numbers) for 30 minutes, you would knock off a 1,200 page book every half hour.
Thanks Lawclerk...for pointing out the careless use of the word stupid, especially from someone so experienced and focused on accuracy, like yourself.
How'd it feel to get up on the SOAPBOX? Just like home, right?
Take a few words of advice..'Tis better to be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt ..."

either that...or try proof reading.
Are you really a Lawclerk...or just some spoiled rich kid?
Ta Ta!
This could be YOUR YEAR!
Fit on!
Must have been hanging out with Jeff Baca.
Why read a book when you got LJ's blog comments to read? Wow, talk about going the Leonard Tose route.....
ChuckyBucky, you don't seem yourself. Everything ok? You should be up, man! This year Southern Cal will be shut out of post-season in ALL THREE MAJOR SPORTS!!!
It's like us Bruins are piranha and someone dumped a bucket of Southern Cal in the river!!!
PCrewe: sugar sweeeeet Healy reference...I wonder what Healy would think of LJ?
I don't know that Healy would opine on LJ, but he'd have choice words for Wolf.
Wow, what a nerd! Who goofed? I've got to know. A wunnerful wunnerful.
osayitaintso...
Unfortunately Ballroom dancing and/or spanish @ Trade tech were not options for Baca. But...you being a Physical Science Major like Baca...already knew that,...right?
This could be YOUR YEAR!
FIT on!
I'm just impressed that UCLA was able to hide Jeff Baca's illiteracy from the NCAA for so long.
