Happens A Lot To "Regular" Students
Happens A Lot To "Regular" Students
This happens more than you think to the general student population. I know a few people who had to leave for a semester and go to community college to prove that they would focus on school. I know of at least two who were re-admitted to U-M, others were less motivated and never came back to U-M.
Obviously, this means that you have already done the "academic probation" thing and that U-M has already given you your "last chance". If Tate is serious about coming back to U-M, it is possible for him to wear the winged helmet again.

Don't quote me on this, but
Don't quote me on this, but
Don't quote me on this, but the first semester below a 2.0 you get put on academic probation. If you don't get off of it the next semester, they kick you out. So does that mean he failed summer and fall? Ouch!?

That would be me, too.
That would be me, too.
That would be me, too. Except I didnt have to do community college.
From the time I finished my BS degree at Michigan to the time I graduated with a PhD from Texas, I only received 2 B's--the rest were A's and A+'s.
I was definitely motivated by the second chance.
I see Tate back on the team in a year.

Looks like we'll get to see what his level of motivation is. Situations like this can make or break somebody. If he mans up and does the work to get back, he'll be better for the experience. Hope he pulls it off.

What exactly do you think he will contribute next January? Hoke is going to put him in above Denard and Devin?
He is a nice kid but he should get a degree and not worry about football.
He's got moxie and gave Michigan a lot of good memories but he probably will never play again.

I wish him well, and hope he makes it back
But I'd *love* for someone to ask him why he made the comment about how hard it was for a Michigan football player to flunk out at a time when he *had* to know he had flunked out. That was odd.
Denard's 2010 was spent redefining what one man can do.

He's still a true sophomore,
He's still a true sophomore,
He's still a true sophomore, so he's probably still filling out his core curriculum. There are a lot of community colleges from which U-M will accept credits for core classes. As long as he puts his nose to the grindstone, no reason why he can't do well in those classes and get readmitted. It'll take work, but so does football. I'm guessing it's more a time management and discipline issue for him than anything related to ability/intelligence.

Out of school or on probation?
Out of school or on probation?
Is he on probation or did he actually, fully, flunk out? UM has a pretty standard policy (or at least did way back when) of putting students with low grades on probation then if they don't improve enough to have them take some time off. You don't have to go through full admissions process to return, just write a letter explaining your new situation and what your plan is for returning to success as a student. Very often, kids go to a community college or smaller satellite school and re-learn good study habits in a less pressured environment then return. Often successfully. Seems to me that's what we could be looking at here.
Not that I have any actual knowledge of Tate's situation, of course.

That sucks. I understand how it can happen. Being a student athlete (attending practice, film and classes) at a not so great academic university like michigan is tough, but doing it at Michigan is even tougher. I hope the best for him.

My friend who flunked out had to do a year of community college before they allowed him back in. Then he came back on a mission, and finished like 45 credits in the next year to graduate.

Good for him. Wish him luck in this -- not an easy task.
