Report: Leinart dancing through final semester
espn.com

Quote:
The fifth-year senior will have plenty of time to focus on football in his final season. Leinart is enrolled in one class: Ballroom dancing will fulfill the final elective for his sociology degree, The Los Angeles Times reported.
"I put in my work to get my degree," he told the paper. "I came back for my fifth year, and I'm taking what's necessary for me to graduate. And that's two units."
NCAA rules require student-athletes to enroll in 12 semester or quarter hours unless they are in their final semester or quarter and are taking the courses needed to graduate.
The exception was adopted in 1975 and has been revised, said Brad Hostetter, director of NCAA membership services.
"The goal is for the student-athlete to graduate, and this exception is there to recognize that there are student-athletes that have done their job in the classroom throughout their previous years and have gotten close to graduation," Brad Hostetter, director of NCAA membership services, told the Times.
Wide receiver Greig Carlson is also taking only one class, while seven other fifth-year seniors are working on master's degrees or another bachelor's degree or minor, the Times reported. "It's all up to the individual," Coach Pete Carroll told the paper. "I think they've earned that right. They earned that by hard work."

I'm sure ballroom dancing will help him when he becomes a sociologist.

Honestly can you blame Leinart? Barring any kind of meltdown this year he'll be a top 5 pick in the draft next year, and will make a hell of a lot more money than most of us could dream. He's still getting his degree, but he knows where his money will come from in the future. I'd probably do the same thing, as I would imagine, most others would. I'm not saying that I would do ballroom dancing, but from what I've heard... he's tagging some hot ass chicks, so why not?

I do believe "Palmer" will be doing his own dancing in Paul Brown Stadium many times this fall.  | |
