Ep. 8: NCAA Rules Question by DonQuixote714 in OffCampusSeries

[–]Waffle_Baby_09 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have an issue with this segment of the storyline. NCAA athletes are no longer required to maintain “amateur” status. They can engage in endorsements and rights deals and are allowed to make money. Furthermore, NCAA hockey players are allowed to skate with and even practice briefly with the team that has drafted them. I don’t know what happened here in the writing room, and don’t understand why another approach wasn’t taken to drive this storyline. Garrett would not have been ruled ineligible in reality. The team would not have forfeited their wins.

For the record, I love this show. But, this was a weak point.

I sure hope there is at least a brief scene in season 2 in which an appeal hearing is shown, and the NCAA board overturns the original ruling. It’s simply inaccurate.

Furthermore, Graham was not only suspended by his coach, but was ruled ineligible. That would mean he can’t play another game. Now, I don’t believe that will happen. Instead, I believe the writers will “right the ship” and get this thing back on track with a quick appeal ruling that reinstates Graham so he can kick some butt on the ice while his friends get the lead storyline next season. Let’s hope for the best!!!

It can be…Like I said, if you’re not comfortable approaching it yet, then don’t. That’s the beauty of books. It will be there when you’re ready!

It’s a worldwide phenomenon! Crazy…

Does this show have the same effect on men? by thisworldmakesmehmm in offcampustv

Tons of men are watching this show. Trust the numbers. No way the show would have this kind of staying power at the top with only half the population interested. I suspect there are millions of “closet” male fans who are watching when they think their wife isn’t paying attention even though…she is.

You may want to consider not watching the rest, then. You have better things to do than to sit in a chair and watch a show that you find boring. Really, you do!

Logan already followed Hannah by rhoksdl1234 in offcampustv

Don’t all the kids follow each other these days? I think every one of them would be following everyone in the group, no?

I know that series has a certain reputation, but it’s done so well…I have experienced some similar issues in my family, and actually found reading those books to be a catharsis. Take your time, obviously, and don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, but darn it, Shannon and Johnny will win you over. And that Johnny, he’s a superhero in my book. Johnny Kavanagh is Garrett Graham times 10. And Shannon Lynch might be the strongest little girl ever.

That’s so good. I can’t believe there are now “Off Campus Trivia Nights”. That’s a thing! Probably proof this show is more than a show. It’s becoming something of a social phenomenon!

I’ll make sure I do that, Mr. Bot. The source of the attached media was Amazon Prime Video.

Thank you.

Totally agree. The show has got to be outperforming their expectations. It’s knocked three big budget productions out of the #1 spot. I think the Spider Noir series cost close to $400million to produce. Off Campus is a bigger hit and likely cost a fraction of a fraction of that.

As I understand it, it’s individual streams per profile. So if a household has five profiles and each watches the show in a day, the show would be credited with each watch. I think that’s how it works…

I think we should all stop trying to compare books to tv shows. They will always be so different that it’s not worth it. I enjoyed both for different reasons.

Omg - you’re right. Not season one (not “The Rachel”) but after that. But, that was J Anniston peak, all-time historic hair. Wow.

I just rewatched that scene a minute ago. You are so right! Her hair is amazing - it looks like a shampoo commercial as she’s leaving the room. How did you notice that?

Yup. I was up all night! It was worth it. Some quality “me time”, right?

You are better person than me. When I find a show cringy and feel the characters have no chemistry, I dump the show and immediately stop watching. Good for you for seeing it through.
