all he has to do is go to Mexico and come back.
boo hoo he’ll just have to walk on to the criminals on the NFL and make millions of dollars..............
Is this the Notre Dame that used to be a Catholic University?
The kid cannot accept a scholarship, but he can probably walk into Auburn or any southern university, and get himself a starting position. I’d go and pay my own way....and help some team win a NCAA championship, and go off a year later to the NFL.
He got tutoring help from Manti Teo’s girlfriend.
What did he do? Show up for class?
Plagiarism on an exam.
Ole Miss insiders say that he is going to land at Ole Miss.
I’ve heard that as well. He’s going to have to sit for a season though.
I’d agree, but here’s the deal - when I was an undergrad at a D-1 major conference school, I had a partial athletic scholarship (really minor sport). Anyway, to make up the difference I worked in the athletic department, specifically in the football program. If this kid was cheating on tests, or more likely having someone else write papers for him, someone in the athletic department knew about it, and that is a very serious NCAA violation.
Who’s going to pay? NCAA won’t allow some “benefactor” to come along and pony up for the kid. And if he’s already been kicked out of school for an academic violation, nobody will touch him. And speaking of academic violations, that’s generally not a zero tolerance issue - he’s probably been in trouble in the past and just kept trying to cheat.
He can walk on and play if he pays his own way, right? Or does he have to sit a year?
I am sure there are plenty of schools that would come up with “financial aid based on need”, as in “we need a QB.”
I don’t think he’d have to sit, but when a kid with no visible means of support shows up with cash, red flags go up.
“What did he do? Show up for class?”
Got caught cheating in the “Intro to Sandbox Management” final.
Well, was he or wasn't he kicked out, does anyone know? Or should the headline read "Notre Dame QB Golson Kicked out for Alleged Academic Violation"?
Drop kick me Jesus, through the goalposts of life
End over end, neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous up rights
Drop kick me Jesus, through the goal posts of life
If he already used his redshirt year, he's essentially done at the Division 1 level.
Golson was redshirted during 2011.
