I just take it a little personal and tend to relate with the athlete a little when I read people on some of these boards totally writing these players off with the “don't let the door hit you on the way out, good ridance” attitude. I don't condone skipping classes for two straight weeks or anything like that, but I think some people are so harsh toward college athletes when they don't always know the real situation.

You did not do that, but your original post just seemed like a place where I could state my case. Good discussion fergard…Sites like InsidetheHall are why it's fun to be a sports and IU fan!

One of my points is that sometimes the academic support from the athletic office is a detriment. When I had to go to study hall it wasn't productive. I usually ended up killing the time staring at the clock because I viewed it as just another mandatory thing I had to attend. My grades actually skyrocketed once I didn't have to attend study hall anymore (at my school only the underclassmen athletes had to go).

But, like you said, for the most it seems like the guys under Sampson couldn't have cared less about school, that's on them.
