Not true.
 
I've never gotten a complete 100% blanket statement on the matter, but if
as I believe LaCouture took incompletes on his first-semester courses, then
he has been given NO different priviledge than any other BU student gets.
 
That much I can guarantee.
 
All BU students have a full year to settle incompletes.  LaCouture apparently
had personal circumstances that warranted an incomplete regardless of his
athletic stature.
 
As such, he could still complete those courses this summer.
