Good God F$U Cheats Academically and They Still Suck.
Posted by Thomas the Terrible on December 19, 2007
Back on September 28 I posted a story about how 23 student athletes at F$U was involved in a cheating scandal. What I didn’t know at the time was that at least 20 of them are football players. Story.
I wonder if any of the recruiters used the line: Come to F$U where you can be a Seminole, play for Bobby Bowden & never have to worry about studying again. How is it that you have so much talent and you still suck? And don’t use the “players are working hard in the classroom” excuse either. It just won’t fly here.
“We don’t know what that number is going to end up being exactly, but we know that’s a rough figure,” assistant athletic director Rob Wilson said Tuesday. “It’s an issue where we’re being extra cautious.”
To bad you wasn’t “extra cautious” in monitoring the two academic assistance employees, one of which was full-time academic adviser Brenda Monk, who worked with F$U student-athletes. Then maybe you would have a prayer against Kentucky. OK, I was kidding, you never really stood a chance.
“If the players fight the suspensions, they’ll risk losing all of their eligibility,” a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday morning.”
“[Bowl opponent] Kentucky would be a tough opponent when we are at full strength, so clearly this will make things more difficult,” Bowden said. “Our staff is in the process of determining what adjustments we must make for the game.”
Ooh ooh I can help there. Forfeit.
Here the problem F$U has in a nutshell:
Bad = students blatantly cheating like this.
Worse = an employee of the university and tutor abetting that cheating.
Another question I have is isn’t academic misconduct, grounds for dismissal from the university? Yet again, special treatment for athletes. Just ask the grad students at Virginia who had their undergrad degrees pulled by the University of Virginia when found them violating the honor code and cheating.
Ah…F$U…a tradition in class, excellence & cheating…
So I profess on this day 12/19/07.
