If somebody thought that, they're way too sensitive. They're also people I don't want to associate with, which is probably why I've heard absolutely nobody say they got that impression from Arike's comments.

Good to end this here. What the outside world thinks and what the student world thinks can be two different things, especially when ti comes to the women's program. Ariike shots were amazing. They did a world of good for women's basketball, period. Lets leave it at that.

That's why they have tutors and study halls while on the road

It's not like North Carolina where the class doesn't actually exist

That'x true. There are study halls on the road available. Hopefully, Arike took advantage of them. However, there are cautionary tales in ND sports now and in the recent past who have had trouble taking advantage of what was offered them. Business is a very tough major. Many "normal" students can't get in. There have been other athletes who have gotten into Mendoza and did not give great effort to their studies. Hopefully, Arike will do her best.
