I agree. I have NO problem with Manziel taking spring semester of online classes. It is the current state of higher education. How many years has Penn State been pushing their World Campus? They now even have a banner for it on All-University Day. Even High School kids are going the cyber school route to graduate high school these days. I am waiting for the news to hit that some big time recruit played for a certain high school but took all his classes through some cyber school website. The high schools have to leave them play even though they do not go to the school.

Just for a Penn State reference that is sort of similar to this situation. Penn State had their starting QB in twice in a span of 3 years basically being a part-time student by taking 2 classes. Collins had a really light class schedule in '94 (2-3 classes) and Richardson only had 2 classes in '96 and one was ballroom dancing. They were allowed to do it because they both graduated before their senior season.
