Wow. That's why I hate the SEC. They have no academic standards and their fans don't even care. What is the point of a student athlete if they aren't even forced to be real students. Thank you Georgia Tech for doing things the right way even if it's the tough thing to do.

So Alabama makes allowances for a player to be held back a year to be bigger and stronger than his teammates, but also to flunk a year. Sweet home Alabama.

Jeremy Johnson was born in November 1991 and played his senior year in 2012 in Alabama. He was 21 at the end of the season. He'll be a 24 year old true junior this year. At 24, I had a BA in philosophy, a BS in poli sci, and was 6 months from my JD. Screw auburn.

When I was a kid I thought it was unfair that FSU was playing with a 28 year old Chris Weinke and I thought they were cheaters. That’s where my hatred for FSU started.

Or... It could be that he is a special needs student. I know here on Georgia (and I believe it's federal law) that they are allowed to attend school up age 21 or 22

As long as someone has never enrolled in college, they could be 45 and still play......the 5 year clock starts at enrollment......so it was perfectly fair.......
