I am always rather skeptical about the authenticity of things that are "all over the net." Why aren't you? |
+1. It's only a matter of time before we are also joined by the VA Tech booster who will battle it out with the UMd booster. Only on DCUM does every thread evolve into being about either VA Tech or Maryland. |
It does. Try gettign involved with the athletic program of a school and you will see things you never thoguht they would do. I am nto talking about beign a booster I am tlaking about jobs, money, women, drugs, gambling it is all at every school at every level. You think NYU is a good school? happend there, Tulane is a prety good school happened there, Get your head out of the sand. These sports provide so much $$$$ for schools they are not going to turn away from that sort of revenue. |
The funny thing is, it is extremely rare a school even breaks even on sports. In 2012, only SEVEN schools did. |
| Not like this. Unc acts like a good school. It's not. Illiterates have degrees . B1G 10 and PAC 12 schools would never do something this stupid. Maybe SEC schools would .. Unc should move to the SEC to be with its academic equals. |

The first sentence of the paper is the best .
"On the evening of December"...no date, lol |
Really? Have you heard of the tattoo thing at Ohio State? Do we need to rehash the Penn St thing? Iowa had 14 violations N'western wa son e of 7 big 10 schools to face sactions for haivng too many atheletes on scholorship I think those are big 10 scools not sure maybe you can confirm if they are. |
Puleeze... Vtech? Talk about no innovative or even famous alumni? No nobels, no academy awards, no pulitzers, no Emmys , no national championships. Don't get me started on the annual horrors. |
Those are nothing compared to 20 years of diplomas for zero work at Unc , please. |
+1 this is one of the reasons tuition keeps increasing |

They do this at Cornell for the hockey team. Well, at least they did this 20 years ago. I took a class where in the weekly TA sessions the TA handed the two hockey players the weekly quiz and the players left the room and came back 20 minutes later with the quizzes filled out. The rest of us nobodies actually had to stay and silently take the quizzes on our own.
In other big lecture classes the hockey players never came to class once and then suddenly appeared for the final. These were multi-media classes given by big name professors. There's no way the players could get the same content from a tutor. |

Football schools with the best and worst graduation rates....
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1731218-college-football-schools-with-the-best-and-worst-graduation-rates |
1/3 of Michigan football players do not graduate. many who do graduate major in kinseology (aka phys ed). |
Kinesiology is actually a pretty difficult major. Lots of science. |
OMG... This has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard of. Can you imagine the higher ups in the "university" graduating this stuff for 20 years and rationalizing it in their heads! Ha ha that's the definition of insanity and all human weakness / failure in one package! I would love to see the graduation ceremony videos where the chancellor talks about all the hard work that went into the degree's LOL...somone needs to dig those up so we can do scientific study on what people's face looks like when they are lying over long periods of time. It's also funny to watch Unc trying to cover it up and indignantly pretend it's not true. They look like Penn State, desperately spinning to make an appearance that they do things "the right way". Then they try to drag in everybody and say "everybody does it"! No they don't . Some might , but right now Unc got caught and smearing good schools with no evidence is rediculous. Schools that struggle graduating athletes are obviously honest and the degree means something. The first place to look is at schools that are "successful" graduating high level athletes in 4 years. Those are probably graduating illiterates like Unc. |
