    To quote Shakespeare

    <t>Much ado about nothing from the NCAA viewpoint (I know, I know, famous last words! This is university-wide problem. It doesn't appear that athletes were given preferential treatment.</t>

    When did LBM make the move to Auburn? Surely there is not another professor as hell bent as her to destroy athletics.

    My thoughts....

    <r>....are these:<br/>
    If you are going to put out a report like that, you would have to go to a paper that doesn't check it's sources very well so the Times would be the first place I would go for that. Maybe they will print a retraction and apology on page 65 or so. <br/>
    <br/>
    There are special programs originally developed for athletes who had to miss a lot of classes because of travel constraints, but that is nothing that other schools don't do and with all of the online classes available to the common student I don't think that Auburn will be in any trouble.... or at least I hope not <E>:p</E></r>

    Well, well, well....

    <r>.... at least we are consistent <E>:lol:</E> I didn't think the program would be in trouble, and I assumed the trouble-makers would either resign or be booted outright.</r>
