I'm very certain that the NCAA has a level that a student must meet then the Conference can either maintain that level or raise it. The SEC has raised it... which is fine by me.
South Florida coach Jim Leavitt was not amused by Monday's comments from Alabama coach Nick Saban linking the rapid rise of Big East programs like USF to less-stringent academic standards.

Did you read the rest of this thread because it's for the very reasons stated above. ;scr
He could not meet the academic requirements to enroll at an SEC school so he had to head to the Big East.

Then some barner or Dolphin fan called in and said, "hey, you know, if you spellcheck Saban in Word, the first option you get is Satan..." Cowturd thought that was hysterical. I guess he doesn't realize that if you spell check Cowherd it comes back as coward. What an idiot!
