  • Academic All-American

    I had to post this and vent a little bit. Josh Mahoney gets a 4.0 in economics and makes the second team. Tyler Roehl of North Dakota State gets a 3.38 in physical education and makes the first team. Who the hell makes these decisions? Even if it was 4.0 in phys. ed and 3.38 in econmoics, the 3.38 in econ would mean a lot more. This has to be a joke, right?

    I thought the same thing. Good question on who makes the call.

      A Physical Education major is not as easy as you may think.

      There are different types of Physical Education Majors - Exercise Science falls under this major at least at UNI which a high majority of athletes (at least at UNI) go into.
      There is also PE Teaching, Sport Psychology, Athletic Training, and others that fall into this category. While I think every major is important and difficult in its own right, don't knock on PE or Education majors.

        PE vs Econ. I guess it depends on your definition of difficult. Regardless a 4.0 trumps a 3.38 everyday.

          Physical Education is not in the same ball park in class difficulty....

          Someone said on Pnation earlier this year that Mahoney may fore go his senior year. Any update on this??

            My guess is that no definitely decision would be made until after the current season has concluded.


            Whatever decision he makes, I wish him the best.
