    Don't really know why this is a big deal. Tons of students take only online courses.

    And I'm sure it gets annoying getting all of that attention and getting asked to take pictures and/or exchange numbers with every other freshman co-ed on campus....wait, maybe there is something weird about this...

    dont see the big deal in it at all.

    However, it is sort of embarrassing that the aggie students can't control themselves and are making it so distracting for him being at class.

    They aren't, he just used it as an excuse (not that he needed one) for taking online courses to deflect some of the scrutiny. Imagine if he didn't use an excuse or simply said he didn't feel like going into class (God forbid).

    You just pay for a degree in undergrad. You don't learn anything. He's gaming the system like the hero he is. Better to teach yourself the material on your time than let some bozo prof put their bias on it.

    My son got accidently put in a "PE only major" course. He showed up the 1st day and the door was locked. I told him he'd have to contact the prof and find out where it was moved. He did contact him only to find out the class only met once during the semester and the only requirement was to turn in their workout schedule. When the prof found out he wasn't in sports or a PE major, he told him he'd have to drop. Too bad. Sounded like the easiest 4 credit hours ever (and no lab so how did they get 4...smh).

    lol -- A&M, you knew any academic reputation you professed to have is getting soiled due to your joining the SEC. This incident certainly doesn't boost that reputation, that's for sure.

    this, unless those classes require him to come in to take an exam in person, he's got someone doing it for him.

    Really proves how much of a joke the NCAA requirement is, under the muse that it's for the athletes to get an education. nothing more than collusion to exploit NCAA athletes

    Good thing they don't base academic reputation around pee-pee game criteria then isn't it? "Lol, tah-hee-hee, I'm bigtexx, lulz" - okay, let's move along to things that actually matter.

    You attended classes with RG3 and Andrew Luck? Impressive that you were able to not only get into Baylor and Stanford but juggle both course loads simultaneously.
