Is it true Lee is not starting or playing due to academic issues?

No one knows.
But probably not.

I'm not sure that Les can even reveal that type of info due to FERPA...a student can sue the university for that shite

That is a the "assumed" reason based on an answer CLM gave when asked about JL not playing much. Nobody outside of the team really knows, but.... it sure sounds that way... whispers of missing a team meeting and class... but, hey.. thats just rumors based on assumtions!!!

Les miles was asked and it took him a minute of rambling to talk around the question.
Draw your own conclusions.

You can't sue the school if it's reported that you're academically ineligible. It happens all the time.
With that said, if it is true that Lee is having problems in school, and if it is true that he will be missing the post season, then why not give Mett his reps so that our backup will be somewhat prepared? If it's not true, I'm very confused in Les' reasoning behind his lack of play. I'm not arguing QB's here, I'm just saying It's hard to understand how one goes from leading the team to an 8-0 record and taking 75% or so of the snaps, to playing 1 or 2 possessions and kneeling it out. It's also hard for me to believe that Lee would be this irresponsible considering his character, commitment, and diligence shown throughout his career. Odd that he's the only player of significance with these "academic problems".

Really? How about b/c we have a ton of good players. Are you telling me that if there is an academic issue that there's only 1 player that has been noticeably reprimanded? Maybe there are others, maybe this academic stuff is all BS (my belief). That's all off the subject though, I was just saying "if" it's true, a lot of things don't add up, and that's from MY perspective.

for my own well being and state of mind Im saying yes.
Absolutley.

The buzz from legit sources (I know). Lee was ruled ineligible for the bowl game after failing a class and Les has been getting JJ ready for the BCSNG

If Lee isn't dressed out in the bowl game, you will have your answer.

I'm saying if it's the case, then it's hard for ME to believe he's the only one. I'm not saying it's hard for YOU to believe it. And the quotations on "academic problems" are implying that I don't think that is the reasoning for his lack of play. Let me know if I can break anything else down for you.
Where did I argue anything. I questioned...
Simply put, if there aren't any academic issues w/ Lee, I don't understand his lack of play. If there are issues, I don't understand why he's still playing. Give someone who will be there in the end the reps.

If true, why not give Mett the reps? This is my point.

Will the wacko's that have been bashing Miles collectively punch themselves in the balls at that moment?

How do you know that?
1. You assume it happened ( even that is a rumor) with Lee.
2. For all that you know there could be 5 other guys who are having issue and not allowed to play in certain games but you don't know or care about that.
3. so many players didn't get significant playing time - e.g. Chancey Aghayere, Gore, Mitch Joseph etc.. but why are you not clamoring about them?
I can certainly understand why you are confused - you are not a coach, neither are you a trainer nor are you the player to know why and how the playing decisions are being made.
We are 12-0 and still hold on to crap like this.

No I didn't assume anything. Go back and read the posts. They will indicate that I said he may not be the only one, as well as quotations around "academic problems". Do you know what quotations mean?

Meaning I don't believe the rumors necessarily

Indicating that IF TRUE THERE MAY BE MORE

If this is true, then why was he "eligible" to play against Arky? Shouldn't he have been ineligible from that point to the end of the season?

Bc he's trying to keep it on the DL as long as possible, putting Mett In would let the cat our of the bag, remember Mett got reps 2 games ago

I don't necessarily believe the rumor but it would just be par for the course with this team. Midst all the chaos they just plug someone else in there and keep winning.

Almost everyone knows. Confirmed through multiple sources. But it is nice to see JL being treated with the same level of optimism that JJ was
