Michael Irvin Transferring

Not saying it's the case, but if a student-athlete needs a class to graduate or be eligible and the course is only offered during practice time, then they would have to miss practice.

Miami needs to "plan better". Hire more professors, build more classroom buildings, and expand the 24-hour clock. We need to do more to accommodate a few football players for a few days out of the year.

Lol at people calling him just a blocker. Those that know are aware he’s not as athletic as Mallory but is a much more natural catcher.

Would love for him to stay, but would love to see him ball somewhere smaller as TE1 too.

You are truly proving the dopiness of of your thought process.

It's a University that offers a football program, not a football program that offers classes on the side.

"The school should not be scheduling mandatory classes". Yeah, I'm going to stop you right there. This just shows how little you know about how a university schedules classes.

A university of 15,000 students including grad-law-med (let alone a school like Ohio Taint, with 50,000 students), should just build its ENTIRE scheduling process around a handful of upperclass football players. That is, quite possibly, one of the dumbest things I have ever heard on this website, and I've heard a lot of dumb things on this board.

The offering of classes is usually set years in advance, and then the times are finalized based on professor availability, room availability, and a general balancing of all classes offered at various times. Meanwhile there are, what, 15-20 spring practice times, only a couple of which EVER overlap with a required class.

And for THIS, for a handful of senior-level football players, the entire university should reschedule classes that impact hundreds of other students.

****, here's a good idea, let's just turn UM into a night school. All classes will begin after 5 pm, and all the football players can attend practice without interference. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Yeah, it's just a "plan better situation".

Aren't you at the top of list of "most ignored" posters? Now I understand why.

And you are showing your total lack of problem solving skills, which I am not surprised by, since you have shown your lack of intelligence time and time again.

There are so many ways to figure out how to avoid this, however, the school just doesn't care to do it. Here is one solution. The school doesn't schedule mandatory classes at 3AM, this means they have some sort of power in controlling when classes are scheduled. So if classes run from 9-8 M-F, they could easily just make sure that mandatory classes have at least one session, that would not coincide with football practice. If this is a mandatory class that only has one class per semester, just make sure it is scheduled some time between 9-4. I am not saying "we should change a class a week before school starts because Jaquan needs it". I am saying they should have planned this out years in advance.

Like Cager, I think we'll regret losing him. We're so **** thin across the board. losing a talented kid like Irvin is a shame. But Jordan is special and Mallory has the potential to be special. So I get why he wants more opportunity. Wishing him all the best.

To be fair, if Michael is really missing because of a class that he needs to take it is almost certainly his and the football staffs fault. Students pick the classes they are going to take. There are a few classes that are mandatory for their major, like I am certain this one is, but there are usually quite a bit of open time slots for them and don't require to be taken in a specific semester. If they are then there are usually a ton of time slots available, happens a lot for freshman. I guess its possible if its a really rare major that they only have one time slot in which case nothing anyone can do about it, just bad luck.

How it worked at Miami when I went, was that seniors had first pick and then all the way down to freshman. Freshman picked classes last. I believe athletes were before the regular students. Michael probably either didn't like the professor or the time and decided to not take the class previous years. Or he didn't realize he had to take a certain class this semester and couldn't postpone it and by the time he decided to sign up the regular students took up the slots at other times.

My prediction is he probably was delaying taking this class and then by the time he realized he had no choice but to do it now he had to pick the one during this time because there weren't many time slots or he waited till regular students took the other time slots and then he had no choice.

I don't believe it is the Universities fault as they already do give them many chances to get classes that don't interfere with practice. Now the football staff and his counselor should of adviced him on this, as it is their job to let them know the mandatory classes they need to take and when.

Let’s be clear...Cager sucked at Miami. I just RE-watched 2017 and 18. He maybe stepped it up at UGA but he was terrible here. He played smaller than Berrios, dropped passes consistently, routinely gave up on routes, and caught 1 of 10 balls that were 50/50. He was given so many chances in big games and let the majority squander.
I hope Irvin stays out of selfish depth, but don’t blame him going somewhere else if he can be a #1.

It's a shame from a numbers perspective. But he wasn't talented, otherwise, his numbers would've far exceeded what they actually are.

TE is one of the few spots on the team where we're not thin.

He had Hodges & Mammarelli breathing down his neck, both of whom are already more athletically gifted than him the day they walked on campus.

Not true. There are classes that are required and only offered once a semester or only offered in the Spring OR the Fall but not both. Conflicts happen for all students enrolled; not just athletes. It stinks, but it happens.

My son is a senior this semester. He has a required class that they cannot take before spring semester senior year. that's it. One section.

I'm sure if it's a matter of "squeezing" into a full class, the exception will always be made for athletes. If it's anything like the above situation, well, that's a problem for the student athlete. Unless exceptions are made for the 5-6 weeks of spring practice.

You truly don't know how colleges schedule courses, nor how UM schedules classes (classes don't run "from 9-8 M-F"). Or even when football practice takes place. Or when students register for classes.

But, sure, you are some kind of genius because you figured out that UM doesn't schedule classes at 3 am.

You are suggesting that a major university with over 10,000 students should plan out, years in advance, the future course offerings based on (presumably) the majors of football players when they are freshmen, and then forecast the semesters in which they will be upperclassmen and will need to take required courses, and then figure out how to schedule those courses so as not to interfere with a football practice schedule that has not yet been set?

Yeah, that should work out.

Good lord, Manny just changed the spring practice schedule because King's father died. What should UM do now to adjust all of the Spring 2020 class schedules accordingly?
