1 / 4Classes Without Classrooms FootballFile-This Dec. 14, 2019, file photo shows NCAA college football player and Heisman Trophy finalist, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow listening to questions from the media during a news conference before the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York. Burrow is a hero on LSU's Baton Rouge campus, but he hasn't seen much of it because he took graduate courses online.
Online classes are a fact of modern college life. For football players with immense demands on their time nearly year round, working online helps them fit school in when it’s convenient — especially during travel for road games — and to avoid having to mix it up with a bunch of other students clamoring for a selfie for their Instagram. The arrangement also allows them, if they choose, to spend most of their waking hours around teammates and others associated with the football program.
The debate is likely to continue. Of the 46 Power Five conference schools that responded to an AP survey, 27 have no limits on how many online courses athletes may take. A dozen others have few online course offerings or limit how many athletes may take. Just six have no online offerings or prohibit athletes from taking them, including private schools Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Southern California, Texas Christian and Notre Dame.
“I don't go to class. I take online classes so I don't get to see any of those people," he said. “And I kind of just wanted to see them for the first time and just thank them.” Brian Russell, associate athletic director for academic services and student-athlete development at the University of Illinois, estimates that Illini athletes are taking about 20% of their courses online.
That proved to be the case with scandals at Mississippi and Missouri in recent years that involved tutors doing online coursework to keep athletes eligible.A weekly meeting involves going over every player’s progress in every class.
