If you haven't paid attention to what's going on in Auburn, you should! They have essentially discounted their academic problems within their athletic program. The New York Times has done a great job revealing that there is a reason that Auburn keeps getting those "questionable" player out of high school who have no issues keeping their grades up. The NYT has identified that Auburn has allowed it's academic program to be mismanaged so bad that players essentially were given grades. The word from Auburn is that they have an academic problem not an athletic problem! Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Auburn under probation from the Southern College Academic Association recently? The president came out yesterday and said that he couldn't understand why the NYT would be looking into this at Auburn of all places. It appears that Auburn's leadership is going to essentially ignore this and move forward as to indite those who led this fraud and purged them from their faculty.
IF I WAS AN AUBURN GRAD (I almost went as they have a strong Engineering program), I WOULD BE DANCING ON THE PRESIDENTS DESK. Essentiallly, the Auburn leaders have said that academics are secondary, no teriary, to winning in Athletics!
It was clear to me that Tommy Tubberville has no class by rubbing 5 wins in a row against Alabama by himself, his coaches, and his players holding up the hand with the thumb! Now it is clear to me that Auburn University (which I have always admired for their pharmacy, pulp and paper, game management, and engineering programs) has no class either. Otherwise they would hold the faculty who cheat their students accountable and hold those students who are too lazy or ignorant accountable!
