Got a long way to go to reach that. Having said that, how cool would that be?

Title: Re: WSJ Article on Barn Athletics & Academics Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 27, 2015, 06:57:35 PM I was just looking. Where is auburn? RTR! West Georga, near Lumpkin, south of Cloumbus. It's a dump site for Ft. Benning.

As we've seen before, find the major that houses the most athletes and you'll find the academic weakness. Most every SEC school likely has the same situation.
But glad to see the Aubs singled out! :P Title: Re: WSJ Article on Barn Athletics & Academics Post by: roll tide roll on August 28, 2015, 08:09:19 AM They're comparing it to the UNC debacle. Got a long way to go to reach that. Having said that, how cool would that be? :spitball: Not so fast my friend. I would say that UNC got a copy of the Lee County playbook. Wasn't the Sociology Department investigation going on back in the late 90's? That was all about no-show classes and persons other than the athlete doing their work. Their accreditation was threatened as recently as the early 2000's. Lee County just never had former players who were willing to testify. In an ironic twist Chizik will be walking the UNC sidelines this year.
