So how do you grow online programs at such a phenomenal rate? Specifically who do you hire to teach all of those classes. From what I have learned you hire anyone with a pulse. And make some kind of twisted arguments to the accredittors that these instructors have the proper credentials.

I have heard things recently that LU has started to get a lot of pushback from SACs the accrediting body for this area. I would not be surprised if in the next few years they had their accreditation yanked. Just like ITT recently you have a "university" that gets a ton of federal financial aid convincing students to pile on debt for a degree that is turning out to have little value.

Now look, LU has some ok programs but many of the new online degrees have a terrible reputation in their field. As it stands right now, I doubt seriously that I would hire someone who had just completed an online degree from there.

They may want to play Tech and ND in D1 football, but academically they don't belong in the same conversation.

I have lots of opinions, and no time or interest to go into depth. I'll just say there's a lot of blame to go around for the devaluation of the modern college degree, and the "online degree" phenomena almost entirely exists because of those reasons.

I didn't catch the first half, but Clemson's linebackers are playing way off the line. You'd think GT would be able to just pound the fullback for ~4 YPC all night against that.

Can you give a south shore line for dummies tutorial. I'm looking at their website and I feel like a 2nd grader designed it.

I see this a little bit differently. The 2013 staff changes did bring a new philosophy in both Frank and the offensive staff. Unfortunately the new offense did not have a lot of early success and I think a good bit of blame goes to Loeffler and his inability to simplify and teach a complex offense. It's hard t buy into a system that doesn't produce.

For years Frank Beamer believed in running the football, owning the clock, playing great defense and getting big plays in the kicking game. This strategy won a lot of football games. But I do believe he made a genuine effort to bring in a new offensive philosophy, it just didn't work.

It pains me when folks feel like they have to take a swipe at CFB in order to appreciate the new system and some early success.
