Blowe is a home town boy that unfortunately has always struggled academically (he wasn't in spring practice) and needed to take and pass a set number of hours in summer school to stay eligible...it didn't happen...and he has no redshirt option left, so his playing career is over (though I am told he will still be in school this fall).

Blowe was one of the last from the "highly talented, but academically questionable" UC recruiting classes (shakes head in frustration).

Not sure why this warranted a full thread on here...does every academic casualty in FCS get a post on here?
