Seth Davis tweet: JB indicated hope that JS will return this year

Little story to help us have hope. That is, if it is about who wrote parts of Sutherland's term paper. When my younger son was in 4th grade, his language arts teacher failed him on a paper because he used words that she thought were "too big". My son had just figured out, all on his own, how to use a thesaurus. When I explained this to the teacher, she said she does not like students to use a thesaurus because they often use the words in the wrong context. When I asked her if my son used ANY of the words in the wrong context, she could not find one place where he had done so. So let's hope she, or someone just like her, is on the committee that deemed the paper to be possibly written by the tutor. Because there are a lot of people, and educators out there who do not believe that people can improve on their abilities.
Just how much help is a student (college) allowed to have without vilotating the NCAA or school rules. I mean you write a paper and you have somebody review it. Common eoungh. They find poor grammer and suggest changes and you make them. Is that cheating? Or you do a paper on a common subject like say FDR and socialism. There are just so many ways you can say something and you could easily use the same phrase found in another source. Even if you footnote using the source, if you don't mark the phrase, is it plagerism?
