Grainger Leaving

[Affirm]

I was just thinking that if you were a smart kid with a career path, once you graduated you would probably move on to Law School, MBA, etc rather than hanging around FU just to play football, especially if you can play at the new school.

Back in the day, some 5th year Football Players were able to enroll in the joint Clemson - Furman MBA Program. Didn’t Harris Roberts do something similar with the 3-2 (or whatever they call it these days) Clemson / Furman Engineering program.

Not an Academian...but I would bet a creative Administration could form similar alliances/programs with a broad array of online Schools, so that 5th year Athletes could start their Graduate School & be eligible to play at FU their 5th year.

BTW - don’t dis “Online Schools” - FUBeAR Jr. Is currently getting his MS in Computer Engineering in an all Online Program. Fairly well-respected Eng. School is sponsoring that - Georgia Tech. That online degree is gonna be just as valuable as their non online one...particularly these days when every school (almost) is online.

Impressive.

I’m just wondering if this scam can work. So you enroll in some other school’s online grad program but you’re ok to play for FU because why? I guess you can call it a”joint” program but someday the ncaa (if it survives) may ask what’s so joint about it. Worth a try though.

Not a scam...now when FUBeAR was enrolled at FU AND in the Clemson-Furman MBA program in the Fall Football Season...and dropped the 1 class he was taking in each...that was a scam.

See the bottom of the next to last page for NCAA rule on these kinds of things...they probably have more/other rules also. They have A LOT of rules - http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/file ... 010807.pdf

They could prolly make an arrangement with Cecil's Business College up in Asheville.

Given this thread already exists & given how Grainger played against GaSt last year - as I believe has been mentioned in this thread, I’m posting this because I think readers will find it interesting ...

[The Jackal]

Looks like Georgia State has a senior starter. Grainger physically matches up well both to what GSU has as their starter as well as the backup, who is a freshman.

Grainger had his best game of the year against Ga State. He looked like Super Man !!!
I can certainly see why Ga State would offer him a scholarship.

[CharlieFU]

He has just committed to Ga State

[cavedweller2]

I hope he does well. I like him as a player.

[apaladin]

He has just committed to Ga State

Nothing like jumping at the first offer.

North Alabama was his 1st, and, maybe, only other offer.

Interesting vid below...recorded when he announced that he was entering the portal. Very, respectfully, complimentary of FU.
