Georgia Southern cheated academically for players who still didn't pass class

[Harry]

Georgia Southern cheated academically and it still didn't help as intended.

There was an amusing part of the NCAA infractions report Thursday that placed Georgia Southern's football program on two years' probation. According to the NCAA, one violation occurred when the school's former assistant director of student-athlete services did extra-credit work for two football players, yet they still didn't pass the class. From the NCAA report:

"As the semester progressed, neither student-athlete appeared to be in a position to pass the course. Therefore, and unbeknownst to the student-athletes, the former assistant director of student-athlete services drafted and submitted five extra credit assignments on behalf of each student-athlete. Specifically, from November and December 2014, she obtained the student-athletes' login and password information, drafted and submitted extra credit assignments. Based on their previous academic work, however, the assignments did not result in a passing grade for either student-athlete."

Sounds like their coach got out of their just in time.  Doubtful this was a rogue employee acting alone without direction from someone above.

Athletes cheating on on-line courses is epidemic.  Of course, the HC is never involved.  It is always some poor schnook down the food chain that takes the fall.

Sounds like Georgia got caught by the NCAA doing something, so Georgia Southern gotta pay...
