Well there is the point that the school forgot to tell the coaches when the students weren’t performing well in class, but yes, the whole “not fully enrolled and therefore not techinally full tiem students” makes me think they need to talk to their drug dealer, becuase they got a bad batch of whatEVER they’re smoking.
A number of upper end academic schools use this method.Two to three weeks of class, then registration.It limits students dropping classes when they find themselves overwhelmed.
Rice University offered a new freshman level English course on Science Fiction Literature.First day of class, 200+ students attended.The teacher passed out the reading list and syllabus.Second day of class, 32 students showed up.Hardest English class I ever took.

If this wasn’t true, and the NCAA weren’t such a hypocritical farce, it might be funny.

EXACTLY like Penn State, except of course for the brutalized children, but that’s beside the point…

the NCAA, a prime example of a bureaucracy run amuck

CalTech has great insititutional control — make the classes so hard that students don’t just drop the class — they leave school and go elsewhere.
