Interesting
But I thought your stance was if its not football or basketball you don't care. If OSU soccer had been on this list and someone attempted to rip OSU for it you would just come on here and says its just soccer you don't care about it.
That is my stance, however, if this was reversed and OSU soccer was on there and BG was not, you certaintly would go out of your ways to point that out. So I am coming down to your level for a minute so I can point out that BG is on the list and OSU is not, rub it in and then move on.
Task accomplished. My day is complete
Ohio State was caught red handed when Maurice Clarett opened his big fat mouth. No penalties were handed down, because they said he went out of his way to cheat. Cheating goes on at the top level more than many are led to believe. They will cover it up by saying a student is LD (learning disabled) or have some grad assistant write the paper. Look at Florida State they got nailed. While it does go on at smaller schools it not reported on as much, but its covered up better at larger schools.
Ohio State was caught red handed because Maurice Clarrett was loaned a car by a car dealer?
Last time I checked, OSU found out about it, suspended clarrett and Clarrett tried to blame it on OSU to get back at them. Then he tried to sue the NFL so he could enter the draft early, he got involved with Israeli mafia and is now in prison. That is someone that YOU want to believe what he says?
The NCAA investiagted and cleared OSU because they had nothing to do with it. The loaned car was all set by Clarrett and the car dealer.
Clarrett lied and tried to place it on OSU. The NCAA says otherwise.
I can tell you that every BG football player I have been in class with did not get a free pass. In fact, they may have actually been graded harder than the rest of us.

Erique Dozier and Stephanie Swiger were both in my Business Law class this semester. Ms. Swiger, one of our outstanding volleyball players here at Bowling Green (outgoing, thanks for the memories!) is not only one of the only students in the class to get A's on the tests, but she was doing that while performing as chair of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee for both Bowling Green AND the Mid-American Conference. I can tell you that I didn't get an A in that class, but she probably did. (I got a B) Erique I don't know as well so I can't speak for his grades, but he can still read through a case and explain in within legal parameters (he did it in front of the class just like everybody else had to). And these aren't the only athletes I've had in my classes. Although you certainly have a few bad eggs here and there (coughGlenStanleycough) our athletes are often some of our best students as well. Because of their discipline and their organization from their sports life, these good habits often lead to performance in the classroom.
It's a lot easier for student-athletes to get A's than students who are sedentary and play video games and play loud music until 2am every night, I guarantee you that.

This entire post is full of generalizations and absurd ones at that.
It's a lot easier for student athletes who essentially have full time jobs on top of their classwork and whose number one priority tends to be their sport and in some cases has to be that sport in order to maintain that scholarship to get A's than students who are sedentary? Even if that were true I would say the number of students who play music until that hour each night is absurdly small.

You're exactly right. At most major colleges, both the GPA and graduation rates of varsity athletes are higher than the general student body. It's the same deal with most high school athletes.

well there ya go. i guess you agree with me that not all major college sports teams cheat.

Now is that actually playing the music (ie practice?) or is that just playing via computer? I know quite a few music majors who practice 'till the wee hours of the morning.
