Blame markus for completely blowing off his classes and assignments in the spring
Blame the academic advisors for letting him major in history
Blame some [deleted] professor for failing him
I'd say blame is pretty straightforward...
Yes, blame MK if he blew off his assignments and attending classes. He earned those grades, however poor they may have been.
No, can't blame the advisors - it's the student who decides what he's interested in and wants to study. The advisors are there to help students navigate and choose the right classes for attaining a degree in that particular discipline in which they're interested. They shouldn't be there to steer any student towards the "easy" classes or get some sort of "easier" degree.
And sorry, no, can't blame the profs, either - they don't fail students - it's the student who ultimately earns every grade in every class.
If MK is declared eligible for the Spring, (and he perhaps gets to play in the Michigan game) it's because HE put in the necessary work to earn the grades in his Fall classes - it was not something that was given to him - he did it. And he should be proud that he was able to overcome the problems he created for himself by not applying himself as much to his coursework as he did to playing with the team that caused him to be ineligible. And I'll be eager to see him play and contribute mightily to the team and look forward to him eventually finishing the degree he wanted to get. And I'm pretty sure this is how LB would want it.
