3 freshmen on the academic honor roll...sounds lie another bonus for Coach Fulmer. If acadmemic achievement is not one of the incentives in his contract, maybe it should be. Also, smart players seem to do a better job of staying out of trouble.

Of Course, Foolmore wouldn't want that part of his contract. Les Miles has it in his contract, as do several other SEC coaches.

Hey, all the top coaches in the SEC, Miles, Richt, Meyer, Saban, and Tubberville have academic incentives in their contracts. I guess Fulmer doesn't care about academics.
LOL at volfan5521!!!!
