I know your exaggerating to make a point and that it's popular on IE to trash the academic programs at other universities, especially the SEC, but these universities do have programs set up to assist their students and student-athletes to succeed in the classroom. Their academic programs may not be as prestigious as Notre Dame's, but student-athletes can earn a degree that will benefit them if professional sports is not an option. Ole Miss has quite a few services available to their student-athletes. Not every athlete attending a SEC school skips out on all of their classes.

Tee deserves to be in a special category. He wanted to attend Notre Dame and play football. He signed his LOI and would still be at the University of Notre Dame if his academic limitations hadn't prevented him from staying. He does not belong in the same group as those who left the University of Notre Dame for other reasons or failed to honor their verbal commitment at the last minute (Lynch, Vanderdoes, Anzalone, Keil, etc.).

I will continue to root for Tee to make it.

To be fair, he did put out an awful lot of misinformation and lies in an attempt to cover up his own failures. I root for him too, but he's far from a saint. Special category is probably the best way to put it.

Be that as it may...

Shepard's a tremendous talent that wanted to be Irish very badly, but a significant learning disability and some very poor guidance in high school prevented that from happening. I'm hoping he gets a genuine opportunity to prove himself as a DI player, and it looks like that might be happening now. So, good for him.

Best of luck Tee! Cannot pull for Ole Miss, but would love to see you shut it down.

I had the same thought. Tee's been on the move since a junior in HS.



(Lee Marvin)
I was born under a wandering star
I was born under a wandering star

Wheels are made for rolling, mules are made to pack
I've never seen a site that didn't look better looking back

I was born under a wandering star

Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry
Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to
Which with any luck will never come true

I was born under a wandering star
I was born under a wandering star

Do I know where hell is? Hell is in "hello"
Heaven is goodbye forever, it's time for me to go

I was born under a wandering star
A wandering, wandering star


When I get to heaven tie me to a tree
Or I'll begin to roam, and soon you'll know where I will be

I was born under a wandering star
A wandering, wandering star

This is a drama that never ends...

As the world of Tee Shepard turns. Should be on everyday at noon on CBS or something.

Great point. He may be in the drivers seat on that one, for once! Hope he is and makes the most of it!
