Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Auburn Scandal Poll

by Nico2.0 on Jul 14, 2006 3:31 AM CDT in News

Media outlets and fan message boards are abuzz about a potential scandal at Auburn regarding athletes and what appears to be an irregularly large amount of independent study courses.

18 players from Auburn's 2004 team (13-0) took a combined 97 hours of independent study courses (including statistics) from the same professor over the course of their careers.

Over 25% of the students in the professor's independent study/directed readings courses were athletes.

How will this end for Auburn?

Nothing will happen?
Slap on the wrist?
Major NCAA sanctions?

I can see why that's front page news in Alabama...

...but why the New York Times?

I think...

...they're the ones that broke it.

I guess dubious academic activity by a successful team in the most popular sport in America is something even the NYT would have interest in.

Diploma mills

I think it falls in line line with their recent stories on diploma mills and the NCAA.

Hey Nico, please email me when you can, nothing urgent. I need to ask you something.

Thanks

Fight On!
