NCAA Academic Fraud

[adman]

If you subscribe to HBO you owe it to yourself to watch the latest Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and their discussion of wholesale academic fraud amongst the power players in college football. Professors from UNC, OU and elsewhere discuss the fraudulent "General Studies" degrees etc and former players talk about the machine, how they are sucked in and once they realize what's really happening, it is too late.

This is what happens when schools basically police thrmselves.

Here's your daily novel length read about the ultimate sports rejection of those who actually study.

Talk about fraud. How about the grade change on the SOC BB player who is committed to SMU. Study the timeline on this , and it is obvious that the SMU recruiter had to know it happened! Don't kid yourself SMU just has better covered it's tracks than they did when they got the death penalty they so rightfully deserved.

It was interesting that the Channel 8 investigation of this situation seemed to end so abruptly.

Wanna see academic fraud? Watch college football on tv any given Saturday. You'll see 85x2 examples of academic fraud. P5 school athletics have their academic departments on lockdown. For those of us that attended college (should be most of us, if not all) while actually having to put the work in, it's a slap in the face. David Pollack ( former all-American d-end at UGA) was asked by Dari Knowkhah while they were joking right before going off air, on a percentage standpoint how often did you attend class? He was like..aahhhh..27% and laughed and was like maybe 10%, maybe. Pollack graduated from UGA in 4 years with a bachelors in History. It's. A. Joke.

One of my good buddies that I met while at UNT has a sister who used to work at Oregon or Oregon State (can't recall right now), and was told she needed to change a grade for a player. She did not do it and she realized later that the grade was changed to passing after she turned it in as failing.

Yeah, I believe it 100%. It happens all over the country, mainly at P5 schools, but I am sure some at mid-major schools as well. Edited April 2, 2014 by Ben Gooding

I know some people who had classes with Cedric Bensen and Ricki Williams at UT. The said that they would come to class for the roll period (first 12 sessions or whatever it was) and then never show up again. None of this should surprise anyone.

I had classes with Joe Greene back in the day here at UNT...he came to class. 'Nuf said.

I had Calculus with Scott Hall. He did better than I did.

I have a class with Darnell Smith right now. He's in there wide eyed and ready to go every time we have class. These guys are the exception, and not at a P5 school either.

Yeah, when I was in school, I had many classes with athletes from different sports and they were in class when they weren't on the road. They also didn't get cut any slack outside of what professors were required to give them.

UNC has deservedly been attracting attention for their bogus courses and degree programs. Here is what a final paper looks like, in its entirety, at that esteemed institution as submitted by a student-athlete. The paper received a grade of A-.

On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. "Let me have those front seats" said the driver. She didn't get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. "I'm going to have you arrested," said the driver. "You may do that," Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them "why do you all push us around?" The police officer replied and said "I don't know, but the law is the law and you're under arrest.

That is horrible... Now if the assignment was to write one of the worst papers ever, then I can see the A- being deserved. So sad that things like this even happy.

The grammar is unsurprisingly terrible, but this is more like a paragraph rather than a paper.
