For sure.  It'll be 100-110 here over the same span.

Belichick's football roster receives backlash from UNC faculty for acting like an SEC program - from the NY Post:

"The off-field actions of Bill Belichick’s North Carolina football players have started to raise some alarms at the university...One player has been cited at least four times for speeding, two of which include reckless driving charges. Another was cited three times for speeding, including an instance where they allegedly were driving over 100 mph, WRAL reported on Friday. That player’s car has also been photographed in on-campus parking spots marked for individuals with disabilities. The infractions were brought to light in WRAL’s report, which found at least five “transfers or key players” who have been cited for speeding since January."

"The players’ habits have even gotten the attention of UNC instructors, with longtime professor Mark Peifer pleading with university officials to do something about it...Peifer said players have parked in spots marked for people with disabilities, sped through narrow parking decks, backed into unauthorized parking spots and have cursed at them."

“Is there no one who can rein in these players, probably only a subset of the football team, who are tarnishing the reputation of our school and of all Carolina athletes?” Peifer wrote to Bubba Cunningham, UNC’s athletics director, in a recent email. In a previous email, Cunningham told Peifer that he had addressed the issues to the football program. “I don’t know how many more times I can apologize. Disappointing to say the least,” Cunningham wrote to Peifer in a separate email on April 27."

"This is not the first time players from the Tar Heels football program have been hit with driving violations during Belichick’s tenure, with WRAL reporting in November that just under 20 percent of the roster had been cited, amounting to 31 speeding tickets and 10 counts of reckless driving."

Meh, something like 8 out of 11 defensive starters were suspended for all kinds of stuff back during UNC's 2010 opener against LSU.  They had an NFL-worthy defensive unit, most of whom didn't play.  I don't think this is the first or even second time UNC's football players have "tarnished the reputation of the school."

stupid college aged kids do this sort of stuff, don't have to be students or football players

although, I do understand that student/athletes can and should be held to a higher standard than the general public or student population

especially now, when they are getting paid

I was wondering about this too. I don't remember when the 5-7 bowl team thing started, but I specifically remember a 5-7 Mississippi State going to the St. Petersburg Bowl back in 2016, and barely beating Miami OH.

Speaking of 5-7 teams, the NCAA is looking to formalize qualifying 5-7 teams for Bowls - from ESPN:

"The NCAA's football oversight committee voted Thursday to adopt a proposal that allows conferences the flexibility to choose a 5-7 team that has met certain academic standards to fill bowl game opportunities if there aren't enough other deserving teams."

"Under the proposal, if all deserving teams have been selected for bowl games and all schools that meet an exception other than the exception for 5-7 teams have been selected, a conference that has an unfulfilled bowl commitment can choose which of its 5-7 teams will participate in that bowl. The conference must choose a 5-7 team that has achieved at least the minimum 930 multiyear Academic Progress Rate required to be eligible to participate in the postseason."

"Currently, if a 5-7 team needs to be selected to participate, those teams become available as alternates in descending order of their multiyear APR."

"Bowl season executive director Nick Carparelli told ESPN in January that there were 41 FBS bowl games last season, including the six College Football Playoff bowls. That left 70 teams that played in non-CFP bowls, and only three of them were below the .500 bowl-eligibility mark at 5-7. Carparelli said that over the past five seasons, an average of 81 teams played in FBS bowls with a 6-6 record or better."

That policy only matters to the extent that any of these players care about getting a degree.  

I don't know about yall's schools, but at my home state's flagship, I think that percentage is approaching zero.

I think at this point the only entity that matters in Madison is admissions. 

Once they're in, it's the Wild West.

Yeah it's a silly thing to worry about at this point.  Just tells me that Texas is hamstringing itself by not doing the same thing as the schools it competes against.  Ain't nobody around to play school anymore.

It's entirely possible that this is actually Sark warning UT that the school is not as competitive in recruiting as it needs to be, in the same way that several years ago Saban's offhand remark about how much A&M was spending, wasn't about A&M at all, and instead was a warning message to Alabama boosters.

What a very curious phrasing for that.

If a kid has 12 hours he goes back to 6?

Seems odd
