Mich Guard Suspended for Home Games …

[Tida Nysage]

Until further notice. Apparently his academics aren’t up to snuff. Never heard of a suspension for away games only

So is he suspended for home or away games?

If it’s both it’s going to be really funny.

He can play Neutral court only.

So it’s just a regular suspension then?

Sounds like he wouldn't be able to figure out how to get home.

Dug? I guess the parents were on academic probation as well

So much for the B10 and Michigan being a pillar of academic excellence. 😆

Okay, so he did poorly in his classes in the Fall (probably being a no show) but he can pull up his GPA by going to winter semester and still qualify to play bball. I guess that makes sense??

This makes sense. Bad grades, but not bad enough to make him ineligible. And Away games mean you are taking time to travel.

What is considered bad enough grades that only gets you suspended for home games

My best guess is that he failed a class but can make it up in Winter semester. The school, to their credit, is requiring him to miss road games because the travel and schedule would 1) take time from his study and 2) cause him to miss classes. Plus, winter semester is most likely highly concentrated anyway.

To me, it all makes sense. I have a lot of past experience with academics. Currently, my daughter works in the academic dean's office at a university. She agreed with me that this could be the case.
