Willie isn't even at Bona's anymore. For some reason, none of his credits would transfer to Colgate so he went home last week. Why even bother taking the finals if their not gonna count towards your degree.

You are trying to tell me that not one of his 8 classes he took at Bonaventure will transfer? What about his GPA? I believe that will still count in the eyes of the NCAA.....

He's definitely gone, Many of my best friends live on the same floor as Willie, plus he was in my Geography class which he hasnt attended in two weeks. As a freshman, Im sure his courseload was filled with Clare College classes which would probably only be accepted at another fransiscan school like Siena and certainly not Colgate. I can speak to the fact that the geography course he was in, is not run of the mill geography and may not have an equivalent at Colgate. Whether you want to beleive that none of his credits transfered or not, it is more likely to occur than you would think

Wow. Bona's got more problems than it's athletic program if (1) it's accepting a GED kid as a student, (2) Willie Morse can get zero academic credit from Colgate for a full year of classes at Bona, and (3) Bona's considering taking Pettinella who apparently flunked out of Penn (according to fellow students).

I request that people stop and think about what they are saying when they disparrage someone with a GED. I just interviewed someone yesterday who had a GED, went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree and has held several significant positions over the past several years. They guy was really impressive.

Let's give someone who is trying to better themselves the benefit of the doubt.

I do wonder what the heck Clare College is all about if other institutions don't even recognize the course work.
