can we talk about this killing the game too...Miami has a guy in his 9th year. Jawjaw's walk-on 2x Natty winning QB was like 37.

I honestly mostly don’t care? Next year the COVID year will be almost washed out. And apparently the old transfer rules. Maybe we’ll have a few more sixth year guys than in the past, but also whatever.

The Miami tight end is kind of funny. He’s basically al nice blocker and they keep giving him years when his knee explodes again. And coaches keep holding onto him for some reason.

It is interesting to track how these kids end up with all the years.

Bluto:


 Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the f***ing Peace Corps.

Or some of them worked full-time through college, like me. 10 years. My degree required 147 credit hours. I could be a rare example, however.

I had a friend who rushed through college as fast as she could.  I didn't understand that.  College life is amazing.

It took me 6.5. 

1.5 years at Jr College, where I had no clue and took a bunch of crap I didn’t need. 

1 semester at a directional school in the A&M system 

And 4 years at A&M. 4.5 really. But whose counting ?  

Besides, back then college was more like a 5 year endeavor. We didn’t have dual enrollment in HS, and I didn’t really take summer school.  And I did work nearly full time.

5.5 years for me. 

2 years at Indiana State

3.5 at Austin Peay

I had my redshirt transfer year. People don't have to do those anymore. Then I had an extra semester for my student teaching. I lost a ton of credits when I transferred. I took some really cool classes that counted for my major and core at ISU. When I got to Austin Peay they said "Nope, them there are what we call EEEEE-lectives."

My scholarships only paid for 4 years.  So I placed out of a bunch of hours, went summers, and finished in 4.  As I recall the program required 132 hours and I graduated with 138.

Same when I transferred from Indiana to MSU.  I needed 130 credits, and I graduated with over 150 because basically my whole freshman year transferred as electives.  Still got done in 4 plus a summer.

I don't recall how many hours, but I know it was at least 130+.  For some reason, 134 or 136 seems right.  I could look up my degree plan, I have the old book in my office.  

Either way, 4 years is 8 semesters.  130 hours divided by 8 semesters is 16.25 hours per semester.  NOPE !  

I tried that once, almost got kicked out.  Went on Scho Pro (scholastic probation).  After that I usually took 12-14 hours a semester.  It freaking bugs me to this day how those counselors just encourage everybody to take 16-17 hours a semester.  I probably could have done fine with 12-13 hours (3-4 classes).  I made sure my son didn't make the same mistake.

Our engineering advisors warned us not to take more than 12 hours if we could help it, but in order to graduate in 4, there were times I just had to.

I did not start at Wisconsin. I went mostly to Harper College but mixed in others along the way that had the courses I needed available at night. I was working 60–70/week in those days.

That was 7 years and got me through all of the math, sciences and mechanics courses.

I got to Madison with 72 credits, needing 75 more to get to 147 for my BS.

That took me 3 years, while working full-time (40/week) for an engineering firm in NW Suburban Chicago (Rosemont). It was a helluva commute and when I look back on it, it was crazy. I had no life.

Rosemont, as in the instruments?  We use a ton of those in the chemical industry.  Very common here.
