Title: Johnny Manziel taking 100% online classes Post by: Volznut on February 20, 2013, 02:52:41 EST Should this be allowed? It is pretty easy to cheat and have someone do a lot of your work for you in this manner of taking classes.

He's now a "rock star" of sorts and I can only imagine what he has to go through to get an education now. He has been a class act so far and until he proves everybody wrong....Let Mr. Football be Mr. Football.

Manziel may be a good student or not, but if all athletes are allowed to do this then we will have massive corruption.

Every other student on campus can do it, after all.

See North Carolina as but one example - MASSIVE academic corruption among athletesTitle: Re: Johnny Manziel taking 100% online classes Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 21, 2013, 03:42:21 EST Not only is there potential for corruption, but he says he only goes to campus once per week. Doesn't sound like he's putting much into offseason workouts. :frown:
