What would a degree do for Trannon anyway?

Very interesting post on Mgoblog. It looks like the Sparties are in for penalties next year unless there is a significant change in East Lansing. The idea is that a school is supposed to suck it up and spend the time, resources and cash to graduate its student athletes. Sounds good in principal. The question is how this idea is implemented and applied on a case by case basis. But the most interesting: MSU may suffer football penalties unless it sucks up the academics and criminal records of guys that look like this.
