Again the accreditation body is to fix that, not the NCAA. There are multiple classes where you do not "meet" and get grades. We had one at SMS Library Science. We signed all our guys up, they went to email got whatever the assignment was, then next you turned in something online and you got a 2 or 1 hour A.

We had Study Skills that was taught by our Football Academic Advisor, it was scheduled for 3 times a week but they rarely went except for midterm and final.

When I took it, you just showed the guy your notebooks from a class, he looked at it and then made suggestions. It was basically a grade for going to another class.

He said he never did any work, that's the problem UNC is going to face. I'm agreeing with you that it's an accreditation issue.

Go ahead and report SMU they did not have that classes, that I am aware of

We had them at SMS and they suck anyway now, but leave the baseball team alone.

I had a class with a big time LSU player when I was in school, he use to come to the tests with his scantron completely filled out before class and just sit there and fidget with his pencil for a while then turn it in.

This kind of shite happens everywhere, they could bring down every athletic department in the country if they wanted to do so

What caused Reebox to disappear? No stars like Iverson wear their gear anymore.

Reminds me of a Geography class for athletes that I somehow got in. The professor gave us a coloring book with countries in it. We would turn in the colored pictures for our grade.

No Im not kidding.

For something that the NCAA has no jurisdiction over in reality. But this investigation, as I understand it, is not just about 1 and done with Nike/Adidas. It is a corruption case and using funds to sway people where to go and where not to go.





The NCAA better hope RICO doesn't rear its ugly head.

My first class at LSU was "Introduction to Sports". Such a joke of a class which was what their schedules were full of. Ryan Perriloux, Tyrus Thomas, Ciron Black, Steven Korte, and Xavier Carter were in the class. I still remember one player admitting that he got into LSU despite having trouble reading.
