ut football team averaged 1.9 GPA among scholarship players

Meanwhile, Alabama placed 38 on the SEC academic honor roll and finished second to only Stanford for academic honorees among those in the BCS standings.
They've improved their chair stacking curriculum to make it more demanding and to better prepare their graduates for the stress and demands of the job. I think that some of this is due to this recent tragedy:
`We’ve also had an inordinate amount of transition in the Thornton Center (the academic facility for all student-athletes). All of our counselors were new. … So the expectations were different. They didn’t understand me. I didn’t understand them. I think the players had to get used to a new system of support.
So they hired bad tutors who didn't know how to tutor? And who Dooley didn't understand?
Did they farm the jobs to India?
Having read the whole thing now, this is sad. Looks like they will be signing 25 the next couple of years for sure.
25 JRs/SRs under 2.0 who need at least a spring 2.0 to return, ten of the 2011 class are in the same boat and it sounds like 10+ got 6 or less credits. You need 6 per semester to stay eligible and then more to be in line with the formula for being on pace to graduate going into each year.
They could reasonably have 10 or more scholarship players not return next year. Soon they will be Auburn young.

This is just really pitiful. I thought that when UT hired Dooley, he would, if given enough time, turn that program around. I've now changed my mind - I think he's lost control of his team. It is Tenorsee, though, so it's hard to say I feel sorry for them, but at the same time, I'm kinda torn between wanting them to continue their downfall (because of Phat Phil), and wanting them to improve. Oh, well.......
How are they being allowed to field a team?! My goodness! But I didn't know Bama was #2 only to Stanford among BCS schools. I wonder where we are to all schools.
The Vols need to get their players hooked up with the sociology distance learning program at the barn.
I expect their dismal showing to improve quickly. Jon Dever who built our academics for the University athletes just made the change to ut. He will get results. Hopefully he will return to Alabama someday with a greater role here.
And Dooley is a Saban man? Say it ain't so! (G)

Hired the wrong people. From the AD, to his hire of Kiffen, to hiring Dooley to replace him. Dooley was obviously not ready...
And then Fulmer. Fulmer really lost it towards the end, in player recruitment and development and they were behind the 8 ball when Kiffin was brought in.
Of course, that is my scientific explanation. I actually truly believe this is some sort of karma induced justice for the underhanded, sneaky way they went about trying to bring Alabama down. They had a lot of blood on their hands, and now they're paying for it.
He forgot to add..."so we don't need any more transitions or changes in the athletic department or it'll get worse."
