Thanks for the response. Appreciate it. If I remember correctly, Jared Tomich was a special education example who had learning disabilities, and who, once that was diagnosed, responded well with the proper attention his condition warranted. Don't know if that is the case with Heard, but I doubt it.

While running back may not require much academic prowess, shouldn't we at least expect academic prowess equal to that required of the normal freshman student? (I know I am being a bit of an a__ here, but feel like it this evening).

Like you, I'd like to hope that the players on the football team all are admitted to the University based on their academic merit. Sadly, that is not the case. The minimum qualifying standards that the NCAA requires are well below those needed for the average high school student to get admitted to the University of Nebraska.

Would this kid been allowed to enroll and be on scholarship under the old "partial qualifier" program that Osborne had so much success with? This program got a lot kids in NU and gave them a chance to pickup their studies then play 4 years. The Big XII didn't allow the program and now it's not allowed anywhere? This is off a Michigan web site where they thought Nebraska might bring the program back.
