PrintUSC tailback-wide receiver George Farmer is academically ineligible and will not be able to participate in spring practice, according to sources. It is conceivable Farmer could get a grade changed to improve his status but as of right now he will not be able to practice.
If he cannot participate in spring practice, it would be a costly blow because Farmer figured to play a prominent role in the spring with tailback Amir Carlisle, wide receiver Brice Butler and wide receiver Kyle Prater no longer on the roster.
OK, other than the fact that Kiffin already moved Farmer back to WR, the whole RB thing is in the past.
For the life of me I can't understand how guys can't keep their grades in order.
The have access to all sorts of help that many students aren't able to get. How is that?
Frustrating.
These are those little things that trip teams up. Thank god it's spring ball and not the regular season...

UPDATE: Looks like Wolf jumped the gun
I was informed George is not academically ineligible (on academic probation) and will be participating in Spring Practices solely at wide receiver.
Serves me right for trusting Wolf...

Lets be honest...
a lot of these guys should not be in college in the first place, let alone at a school like USC.
If the NCAA is serious about protecting student athletes and their educations, then they should require schools to offer remedial classes for credit so that those that need it can actually learn something.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Not to mention the fact that football is a full time job.

Disappointing. Farmer always seemed articulate and confident in interviews.
Hope this isn’t a step to another five-star bust.

Never seen his name used as a verb, but it fits incredibly well.

A lot of them take the minimum number of classes in the fall
and make up the credits in the spring and summer. Any miss step and they are screwed. Most schools have a handful of kids who are ineligible for the spring, USC included. Just saying.
That probably is it ev, but you would think the school would have an eye out for that.
That is the one thing I always liked about Henry Bibby, he always made sure his players were going to class and got help when needed. Lets just hope that farmer can get his grades in order, my ? is it last semester or the grades at hand because the spring is just starting. Maybe George took to much of a load in the fall, but if you want all your players to be eligible you need to address all things out there.
Yes we can't play in a Bowl and that is lucky for the rest of College FB' but next year we at USC will dominate.

Someone came in to check athlete attendance for every class I ever had with basketball players.
That was during the Bibby, Saia, Floyd years.
I can’t imagine it is any different now.

would anyone notice if we just put a dark shade across his face and said he was a walk on?

This might be the lowest point in Wolfe bag
Slandering a person, I hope Farmers dad gives SW a piece of his mind

To be fair to Wolf
If Farmer is an academic probation, it means that if he doesn’t improve his grades he will be ineligible.
Still, if Wolf wasn’t such a lazt d-bag did some actual reporting, he would have gotten it right.

Yes dude I know what academic probation is
What do you think you are the only wise person out there, freshmen almost always end up on ac prob.

Once again, this is why I stopped reading Wolf a long time ago...
Don’t give him the hits! If you ignore him long enough, eventually, he will go away. By the way, over/under on Wolf’s preseason ranking of USC is 4.5 – anyone taking the under? I didn’t think so.
I just wish Lane bans him from spring ball

I used to read Wolf until the Oregon game, I couldn't take it anymore
The good part of Wolf, he scavenger every news of the internet. If you don’t want to go on to different newspapers and blogs, he brings them to you. My problem with him is he does not find the news himself and everything negative. I gave up reading his site when he intentionally started rallying for controversy. He should definitely be banned from any practice or contact with any player. He was openly trying to stir things around.
