I'm always frustrated w/athletics exploiting students, but this semester it's killing me. Not only missing tons of class & a req event, falling behind on assignments, misunderstanding assignments incurring poor grades, but also making them play w/broken finger, while severely ill, etc! WTF?!

I try to accommodate w/make-up assignments, resubmissions, alternative office hours...but it doesn't get to the root of the problem.
