C'mon, TVB is a KICKER. A KICKER. His only job is to kick the ball out of the endzone, which he does on just about every single kickoff (of where there are many since 'SC scores a lot). He obviously has a leg like a cannon, so how much practice does it actually take? Probably none. It's not like he didn't have time to study a little.
In this day and age of tutors galore and other special help available to athletes in Division 1 football, I don't see how anyone can find an excuse for any kid who can't cut a 2.0 in consecutive semesters. It sounds like he didn't even try.
