Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:43 amGranted it still needs Faculty Senate approval, but I imagine they wouldn't announce something like this unless they were pretty sure it was going to be approved. The other thing I thought was interesting is that they are also working on changing some of the transfer hour requirements too.

Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 12:11 pmIt's official. Icicles in hell are now forming. When Dr. Turner told June Jones this would happen and then said it at the press conference at Jones' hiring, I think many thought this was lip service.
It ain't lip service anymore. This is welcomed news.

Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 12:12 pmI believe this is a good move -- not just for athletics, but for the school. We produce amazing business people, why not begin producing amazing agents, sports officials, etc. (with the side effect of having a major athletes might possibly be able to connect with)?
I am an engineer -- it's what I connect with, it's what makes sense to me. I like hands-on type things, and engineering is a parallel with that; I get to put into action all the things I have picked up and learned about along the way. This is analogous to an athlete. They have been playing sports for a long time, and know some things about the inner workings of how a program runs and develops. They can make connections between their everyday lives and their studies, which I think is critical to the deep understanding, and ultimately the success and mastery, of a subject.
That is all.

Is an Ice cycle a bicycle made out of ice? Wouldn't it freeze to your butt?
