No one got a $25 steak dinner so it's all good. Gotta protect the integrity of our student athletes after all.

Don't understand why people don't get it.
There's an accreditation board that determines the validity of courses provided by a school. These courses were provided for and attended by the general student body, not just athletes. End of story.
We got GaTech coming up and we're sitting here worrying about another school, in another sport. Must be a millennial thing to be this pathetic. Our cloud has already passed over. Move on man.
This deserves a few "academic" signs by those of us going to the UNC game coming up. Can't think of any right now myself, but how about we use this thread to come up with some creative signs?

"This sign was my final exam"
I'm going to throw out another unpopular opinion that I an sure will get eaten alive by our resident esquires, BUT
I cannot believe that Donna Shalala did not sue the **** out of the NCAA once it was learned that all they ever had was the illegally obtained statement of a convicted felon. Why we took that I'll never understand.

First, our "cloud has NOT already passed over". The NCAA goes after us with a gusto that it does not have for other programs, and if you don't think that the FBI investigation is going to give the NCAA a hard-on for opening a branch office in Coral Gables, you are sorely mistaken.
Second, the "accreditation board" does not do a rundown of every single course at every single school. The various conservative and liberal media outlets are constantly reporting on some ridiculous college course offered by some school somewhere.
Finally, the issue is not the underlying coursework itself, which COULD be reviewed by an accrediting body. It is the way in which athletes are steered to those courses, it is the fact that the courses are usually not offered to the general student body (or even fit the curriculum for most majors that athletes are steered away from) and it is MOST CERTAINLY the way that the coursework is graded ("take home tests", "open book tests", etc.).
I went to UM when we got rid of the P.E. major that Vinnie Testaverde was studying. I tutored for the UM Athletic Department, and most of the players were either in the School of Business or the School of Communications (requires a double major).
If you don't like the thread, just leave.

You're right, how could I be entertaining this stupid thread when I've got so much important work to do to make sure the team is successful this weekend.
Must be a boomer thing to be so sanctimonious.
