FWST: One of TCU’s top young players announced his plans to transfer

I think they were a couple like this, and unfortunately a few other followers who thought they didn’t need to go to class either.

If they don't want to be a Frog....good luck and next.

Exactly!

The athletes are literally given every opportunity to be successful. They have all of the support in the world at TCU. In the end, the kids are the ones who have to go to class, stay organized (with help from learning specialists and academic coaches), take the tests (with help from tutors to prepare), and write the papers (with appropriate assistance from writing specialists). If they aren’t making grades, it is not because TCU isn’t doing everything in their power to help them reach that goal.

This. Every opportunity. Hit the road.

Maybe he should transfer to Oklahoma State. I have a tenant that brings his rent by every month. Nice guy, does minor repairs on the house, is a residential appraiser so we often share opinions on how the market is doing. Big guy, thought he may have played college football. He saw my degree on the wall and mentioned he played at Okie lite. Mentioned he would never let his son go there because football was king and academics were an afterthought. Said he was pulling a smooth running 1.8 GPA but always remained eligible. His academic counselor told him a 1.8 was not that bad. He left school shortly thereafter and swore none of his kids would ever go there.

I don't know but I hope TCU doesn't treat athletes (or any student) that way. I always found it extremely challenging academically, but then I'm no Rhodes scholar.

Got my masters from OSU. I’ll never forget how they looked at TCU as something like an Ivy school or something when I was applying.

And by the way, God didn't have anything to do with you flunking out.
