Message: [QUOTE="itsbotime, post: 1171513, member: 1242"] Last I checked, easy A courses aren't NCAA violations. These courses weren't "fake"-they required work. The grading was simply lax, and they were graded by someone that shouldn't have been grading. Academic counselors steered students (athletes and non-athletes alike) needing a GPA boost to the "Easy A" courses, just like they do at every school. Duke, Michigan, Stanford...all have been caught doing similar things. Women's BB comes off poorly (they have an email on record from an assistant there noting that one of the papers was plagiarized and laughing it off), football comes off poorly (they told Crowder what grades players needed, but Crowder ignored their input since everyone got good grades in her class), basketball doesn't come off poorly. At the end of the day this was college students flocking to easy classes to boost their GPAs. Happens every single day at every single university. [/QUOTE]
