Highly touted incoming Auburn running back is being held out of practices after a high school guidance counselor admitted to falsifying transcripts. It's ok, it happened to Fairley too. A couple years at a junior college will get you a new set of falsified transcripts that won't be questioned as much. Auburn, we may not win good, but we cheat good.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happened alot at lots of schools.

Re: AND Auburngate continues
It probably does, I just notice it more because I suspect Auburn of cheating as this is the third time I've read about it happening in three years.
I remember from a previous incident that it's up to the student to supply a legal transcript and up to the NCAA to verify it. Meaning the school isn't responsible for falsified transcripts. I wouldn't be surprised if boosters were involved though as the guidance counselor must have had some incentive to risk it.

I would say that is probably right. The NCAA has no ability to verify anything. They need to be reborn.

Try the updated UNC scandal

I have always said if you continually finish in the top 15 your school is cheating. I hate to admit it, I was in a class at my alma mater where a math class qualified for what this article alledges. I guess I am getting more jaded about schools, the NCAA and all the phonies.

The preceding statements are solely the opinion of GoBoilers and are, therefore, probably not based whatsoever on fact, research or more time in thought than what was required to physically type them. They're probably correct anyway, so you shouldn't argue too much, because otherwise he'll just blather on forever. On the internet Al Gore invented.

Not just the top 15. I went to a DIII school and they had classes for athletes. Most atletes there didn't need the classes, but some did. I remember one guy who had no business in school. If he had the aptitude, he wasn't prepared at any level to be there.

Re: AND Auburngate continues
How bad do you think it's going to get at UNC? I would imagine they are going to get a massive beat down by the NCAA and then there is the possible loss of accreditation.
They made a mockery of college athletics and a mockery of academia. Best part is that they lied about it but it is UNC so we will have to see if they get preferential treatment or not.

Re: AND Auburngate continues
At least Auburn was tithing the last time they cheated. 
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
