[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 947868, member: 1199"] I Liked your post, then talked to my college professor wife this morning over breakfast about Bennett. She said lots of kids spend four or more years in college with only two years of credits. And many of them never get a degree. A lot of 18 year old kids enroll at a school to major in their favorite HS subject. Hey, I was good in math, I will be a math major!!! Then the reality of Calculus sets in firmly and they switch to the Business School to major in Bus Admin or Management, only to discover Statistics and that ugly Calculus again. So, they switch to History or Pol. Sc. hoping the College Algebra class they passed three years ago will be enough. By this time they have laundered enough credits to have a degree, but are still a year or more away from Graduation. The fact that Bennett spent a year at Jones College, maybe not taking a full load because CC athletics is much more forgiving, could mean he banked very little while there. And, maybe it was only one semester. I agree that the NCAA does very little to monitor and enforce their rules regarding academic progress, there are some legit cases where progress is difficult to define. That said, I cannot imagine someone staying eligible at GT for six years and not having a degree. [/QUOTE]
