[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guarantee none of those schools have no show classes and give grades for absolutely nothing.

Unc is in with Alabama and Florida State but even they probably don't graduate complete illiterates .[/quote]

How do you guarantee that?  They let in kids with 800 SATs and poor grades; they're getting through somehow and it damn skippy isn't by mastering the material. [/quote]

Because it was NC state journalists that caught Unc and NCstate was looked into and they had a higher failure rate among athletes.  Unc graduated all of them which is easy when nothing is required.  All those schools are better than NC State.  Unc is alone in its exploitation and horrendously low standards. They should join the SEC to be among their academic peers.[/quote]

So NC State brings them in and flunks them.  How is that not exploitative?  You are seriously unbalanced when it comes to this, and very naïve to think that UNC is alone in this.[/quote]

Just a quick Google:

Michigan (2008)
The Ann Arbor News reported that from 2004 to 2007, 251 athletes took independent study classes with the same professor and received suspiciously high grades. 
 
Minnesota (1999)
The basketball team had tournament victories erased after hundreds of assignments were completed for players.
 
Stanford (2011)
Academic advisers discontinued a list of classes recommended to athletes for years because they were too easy.[/quote]
