    Um, your weird thought that I don't HATE Kentucky frustrates me.

    Nah, I never came close to the ledge. I saw the thread title and thought, WHAT? And an instant later, I saw who created the thread, and then it all made sense to me.

    If KU would have changed his grades, that would have been very problematic. But his high school? During his freshman season there? Can't penalize Kansas for something it had nothing to do with.

    Better not survey the board's algebra grades; that's why we became sportswriters.

    There's a reason I took my required math classes at the juco during summers -- I never would have passed them at KU.

    Ditto.

    Yeah, I'm a KU grad, but I'd like to believe I'd say the same thing no matter the school involved. This is a failure of the NCAA Clearinghouse, which is a joke to begin with.

    That thread title was mostly to get a rise out of you, so ... great success! :D

    If this happens, I'll think of some clever joke about Arthur failing to solve for 'x', make it into a t-shirt, and wide a wave of financial glory into the sunset.

    I thought about that for a second, but high school algebra and college algebra are a little different if I do remember correctly.

    Arthur cleared of any wrong doing.

    Missouri and Kansas State fans around the country sulk.

    When I saw the thread title, I thought it was about the payoffs to Danny Manning and Ed Manning. ::) ::)
