Why is what UGA did so bad??

[ashleync]

Since when does letting a Coach teach a class, giving all the athletes high grades, such a "new" thing? Or is it just that UGA got caught?

Heck, if you want to start shutting down athletic programs, let's start with basically every high school in America. Come on. I took Driver's Ed and health. I even had a baseball coach teach Algebra 1 in 9th grade. Guess what my score was??? A+.

I think the difference is we are dealing with the NCAA, and the fact that UGA is good. If they weren't this wouldn't even be talked about right now.

More dirt being thrown on the SEC. Telling you here and now folks, our conference is going down. One way or another, the SEC is going to have to be broken up.

It is bad because it ruins the academic integrity of their university. When students receive credit for doing absolutely no work then the university is not serving its purpose. A college education is supposed to mean something, and examples such as this demonstrate many societal ills. Despite what many want to believe college athletics is supposed to be for student-athletes who are getting their educations. I really wish the NFL and NBA would get serious about having minor league teams where kids could go play. I want college athletics to about college students who also excel on the playing fields. I know this is idealistic, but it is also the way things are supposed to be. I'm tired of players *****ing about "gettin' paid," as if a college education is not enough. I must stop now because I am about to get ticked off and step onto the soap box. Roll Tide, God Bless America, and let common sense mean something again.

I think that the biggest issue was the grade even though the players never attended the class. Myhigh school biology teacher was also the head football coach. The first semester he didn't know me. Second semester he noticed that I was running track. First semester I got a B, second semester an A.
