Then we would miss all the one liners and the word Germans would completely die out. I'm 1/4 German we cant have that.

clearinghouse


Can someone please explain to me what the "clearinghouse" is, what it has to do with collegiate athletics, and why it takes it so fricking long to do anything??

Also, what "tests" was DeAngelo trying to pass?? Was he trying to improve his ACT score?? He wasn't in any kind of classes this fall, so who was administering these tests? What were they for??

I'm serious as a heart attack. Does anyone know WTF??

he still has 10 days to enroll i think. Correct? if clearing house clears him within the next week he could concievably make it this semester.

the clearinghouse is the place that makes sure your C in math was really a C in math, and that it was you that got it.

I'm not sure what is up with Benton, the rules were changed recently to state that all of your core had to be complete in 4 years of high school, but you could re-take 1 core immediately after graduation. in the old days, guys were going to prep schools and making up 4-5 core classes in a semester. ACT can still be taken after the fact.

The problem with Benton, is the rules changed during the year after his senior year, now requiring 16 core credits instead of the 14 required for his senior class (I think). So in essence, he would've had 3 classes to take instead of 1 (assuming that 1 was his issue), but the rules say you can only make up 1. probably gave him some sort of a waiver to make up the 3, but my understanding of the rules is you don't have forever to keep trying to get the core.

I'm friends with someone close to the situation. He said he is definitely NOT coming. They gave him 3 options: retake the ACT, take correspondence courses to get credit, or take examinations for course credits.

He didn't attempt the last two and his ACT score was still too low. LSU is not a hard school to get into. I'm not sure we want someone less intelligent than Perrilloux on our team.

Hopefully we can all just forget about this guy and look forward to TT and RR lining up X and Y.
