NOKW - Old School

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Old School

Basic Plot:  One of the funniest movies made before Vince Vaughn's career went in the crapper and Will Ferrell became overexposed.  It's about a group of random people starting a fraternity and having good time, wrestling in K1 jelly, and battling the dean in order to gain respectability.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that the first thing that Vince Vaughn thinks of doing in order to not get evicted from campus housing would be to start a fraternity instead of just finding an equally cool house off campus.  The fact that a bunch of people who do not even attend a university would be allowed to start a fraternity associated with said university.  The fact that middle age guys' wives would let their husbands join a fraternity.  The fact that Vince Vaughn's character was able to afford to have Snoop Dogg play at one of their parties.  The fact that Frank the Tank wasn't arrested well before his wife found him running naked across campus.  The fact that James Carville would ever show up for a university debate.  The fact that that big fat guy didn't kill the little Indian kid when he landed on him during the gymnastics portion of the fraternity challenge thing.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that the fraternity didn't call bullshit on the dean when he tried to fail them because one of their members didn't participate in the events in order to gain a charter with the university.  If you haven't seen this movie for whatever weird reason, the evil dean tries to kick the good guys off campus but they find a loophole that will allow them to stay.  They do this by competing in a range of events like an academic test, a debate competition, and gymnastics.  After they are done, the dean tells them they have failed because one of their members didn't compete.  That member was Blue, who was dead.  However, before the dean declared they had failed, their score was in the 80's and after re-tallying their score with Blue's score included, the dean declared they had failed.  That's mathematically impossible.  They had over ten members in their fraternity so at worst, their new score would have been in the 70's and not the 66 that the dean claimed they had.  So, why didn't they immediately claim bullshit and demand to see how he calculated their failing score?  I am not okay with that.
