Johnny Manziel taking 100% online classes

[Volznut]

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.

Take away who it is.....Nobody would ever care!  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.

I should clarify, I think this is a bad idea overall and sets a bad precedent. Manziel may be a good student or not, but if all athletes are allowed to do this then we will have massive corruption.

There's no doubt that it opens the door for widespread corruption (well, even MORE widespread corruption) but trying to stop student-athletes from taking online classes sure opens a can of worms. Every other student on campus can do it, after all.

See North Carolina as but one example - MASSIVE academic corruption among athletes

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.
