Rumors have been flying on message boards and sports radio that Nick Fairley may be academically ineligible for the BCS Championship game due to a failed sociology class. He is supposed to be retaking a test soon to determine his grade in that class.


So...

There is no effin way a player will miss a national title game because of academics. Just my opinion.

Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt. Who knows how valid this information is.

How could he get to retake a test like that after the semester is already over?

Sounds made up.

Here are the rules, if someone wants to interpret:

14.1.10 Change in Eligibility Status. If a student-athlete’s academic eligibility changes at the end of a quarter
or semester, the student-athlete shall become eligible or ineligible to compete on the date his or her eligibility officially
is certified by the appropriate institutional authority. In a case in which the student becomes eligible at the end of the
term, the earliest date on which the student can become eligible to compete is the day after the date of the last scheduled
examination listed in the institution’s official calendar for the term that is ending. In a case in which the student
becomes ineligible, the ineligibility shall become effective not later than the first day of classes of the following semester
or quarter. In any case, if the student-athlete is academically eligible to compete at the time of the student-athlete’s or
the institution’s first participation in an NCAA championship, he or she shall remain eligible for the remainder of the
championship.
14.1.10.1 Exception.
14.1.10.1.1 Institutions with Official Posting Date for Grades. An institution whose official posting
date for grades falls within three days of the first day of classes for the following academic term shall have three
business days from the official date on which grades must be posted to certify that student-athletes have satisfactorily
completed at least six-semester or six-quarter hours of academic credit the during preceding regular
academic term (see Bylaw 14.4.3.1) and to certify that student-athletes have satisfied the grade-point average
requirements per Bylaw 14.4.3.3. For those institutions that post grades on a rolling basis, the three-business
day period shall begin within the first week of classes. (Adopted: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05)
14.1.10.1.2 Institutions with no Official Posting Date for Grades. An institution whose official submission
date for grades falls on or after the first day of classes for the following academic term shall have five
business days from the date on which grades are submitted to certify that student-athletes have satisfactorily
completed at least six-semester or six-quarter hours of academic credit during the preceding regular academic
term (see Bylaw 14.4.3.1) and to certify that student-athletes have maintained grade-point average requirements
per Bylaw 14.4.3.3. (Adopted: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05)
14.1.10.1.3 Certification of Eligibility. During the three-business day or five-business day period, a student-
athlete who is otherwise eligible under NCAA, conference and institutional requirements, shall be permitted
to compete. If during the exception period, a student-athlete is certified ineligible, the student-athlete
shall be declared immediately ineligible for competition. If the three-business day or five-business day period
concludes prior to the certification of eligibility for any student-athlete, the student-athlete shall be ineligible
until such time the student-athlete is declared eligible for competition. (Adopted: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05)
14.1.10.1.4 Notification to NCAA National Office. As a condition of the exception, an institution shall
provide to the NCAA national office, the number of student-athletes who were ultimately declared ineligible
for the academic term but competed during the exception period. (Adopted: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05)

Eligibility

14.1.10.2 Eligibility for Postseason Competition—Between Terms. To be eligible to compete in a postseason
event (e.g., conference tournament, bowl game, National Invitation Tournament, NCAA championship)
that occurs between regular terms (including summer) a student-athlete shall have satisfactorily completed sixsemester
or six-quarter hours of academic credit during the preceding regular academic term of full-time enrollment
(see Bylaw 14.4.3.1). (Adopted: 4/28/05 effective 8/1/05, Revised: 12/12/06, 1/8/07 effective 8/1/07, 4/26/07 effective
8/1/07)
14.1.10.2.1 Less than Full-Time Enrollment. A student-athlete who was enrolled in less than a minimum
full-time program of studies pursuant to an exception or waiver during the term immediately prior to
the postseason event is subject to the following requirements: (Adopted: 1/8/07 effective 8/1/07)
(a) If the student-athlete was enrolled in at least six credit hours, he or she shall have satisfactorily completed
six semester or six quarter hours of academic credit; or
(b) If the student-athlete was enrolled in less than six credit hours, he or she shall have satisfactorily completed
the number of semester or quarter hours of academic credit in which he or she was enrolled.
14.1.10.2.2 Timing of Certification. A student-athlete’s eligibility under this provision shall be determined
within 14 business days (see Bylaw 14.02.2) (regardless of the date in which grades are posted or
submitted) after the date of the last scheduled examination listed in the institution’s official calendar for the
term that is ending. If the postseason event occurs prior to the conclusion of the 14 business days, eligibility
shall be determined by using grades from the immediately preceding regular academic term (e.g., fall term if
certifying for a bowl game), provided a sufficient number of grades from the term have been posted. All grades
posted in accordance with institutional procedures by 5 p.m. local time (where the institution is located) on
the day prior to the postseason event must be considered. If the postseason event occurs prior to the conclusion
of the 14 business days and an insufficient number of grades from the immediately preceding term have been
posted, eligibility shall be determined by using grades from the most recent regular academic term for which a
sufficient number of grades have been posted. (Adopted: 1/8/07 effective 8/1/07)
14.1.10.3 Eligibility for Postseason Competition—Postseason Football Bowl Game During an Institution’s
Second Academic Term. [FBS] If an institution is selected to participate in a postseason bowl game
that will occur during the institution’s second regular term (e.g., winter quarter, spring semester) of the academic
year, a student-athlete’s eligibility to compete in a bowl game shall be certified consistent with the standards applicable
to postseason competition that occurs between terms (see Bylaws 14.1.10 and 14.1.10.2). However, a studentathlete
must meet full-time enrollment requirements applicable to term-time competition (see Bylaw 14.1.8.2).

Im in Alabama and I never heard it. He's going pro anyway, so it should not matter to a teacher.

If true, it couldn't happen to a 'nicer' POS than Fairley....

The word on the Auburn forum is that it could (also) involve WR Terrell Zachery, who was scratched from the Tigers' interview list.

Wouldn't surprise me. The guy is a complete thug. Can't imagine he would really care that much about academics.
