Becca Hubbard MVP of the week

Let's give props to academic advisor Becca Hubbard for discovering the obscure rule that kept Jarred Foster eligible. It is good to have these people working for us for a change. This is in contrast to the people who declared Rachad Robinson ineligible the morning of the Alabama game while the semester was still going on and before final grades were in. Give Becca a raise and a promotion.

Not the type of thread I was hoping for.

What makes you think his was ineligible because of grades?
You seem to be the type to believe everything the government tells you

she's the real MVP

I don't think she's the team's academic advisor anymore.

She wasn't even in Louisiana. She was in Minneapolis. I'll ask again...WHY does a former Athletic Academic Advisor have to help maintain our kid's eligibility? Why is the LSU Compliance Department not working to try and find a way to keep the kid eligible, instead of working to declare him ineligible?
Ridiculous...
Ridiculous...

You are right, but she still deserves praise and admiration for finding a way to allow Foster to maintain his eligibility. To Rebecca:

So wait, she doesn't even work for LSU anymore and got this done??

She is no longer the baseball academic advisor; she works in the office of enrollment iirc.

In other words, our own Compliance people didn't find this. We had to get someone who was at an out-of-state conference to do it who doesn't even work in that department anymore.

Whoever down voted you can get hit with a bag of dicks.

Props to Becca, but this is disturbing news regarding compliance.

We're just posters on an internet message board, but I hope this bubbles up into legitimate reviews of Compliance's handling of this issue, as well as an overview of their relationship to and with LSU Athletics.
My kingdom for an enterprising investigating journalist that wanted to pay attention...

After student athletes schedule courses for the semester, an advisor from the Deans Office from the student's major codes the courses as to application towards degree requirements. It is coded "C" if it requires that grade or higher, Y if it applies with any passing grade (D or better), N if not at all. They must meet minimum earned hours per semester/academic year and have a certain percentage complete by the end of their second year, etc. Thus all the "undecided" "interdisciplinary studies" majors...pretty much anything can apply. So, he could have made a "D". It did not count as a required course for the original intent. For example, it would not meet requirements for 20 semester hours of advanced coursework in the major subject BUT it could be used as a free elective. Also, a student may be planning to graduate in Finance for example and need a "c" or a minimum GPA and if they don't get it, they may still be able to graduate with a General Business degree. So, these things happen with students all the time, not just athletes . Each college gets dozens of appeals after every semester. They jumped the gun declaring him ineligible is the bottom line.

If anyone needs a summary of all the stuff that's happened with Foster the last week, ^^^^.
