It makes me think that Trooper Taylor didn't really keep track of their grades...i mean, he had to know they were in serious danger of failing some classes.
What kind of GPA do you have to have in order to be academically ineligible?
With somebody babysitting the players (or at least supposed to be babysitting the players) how could this even be an issue with the academic support program at UT? This is going to negatively effect recruiting more than the coaching changes I believe, because mamas and daddys look at stuff like this when they're whispering in their kids' ears.
I remember MANY times on my rivals account where potential recruits have said one of their favorite parts about UT would be the Thornton Center and the academic support; that apparently made their parents really sold on the idea of coming to UT. I hope it's publicized that either Trooper Taylor was irresponsible or that these players are just pure idiots.
