You would think after the Fred Brown incident that we would've had all student athletes gathered together for a "coming to Jesus" meeting about academic integrity, and the fact that it is one strike and you're out of school, not just off the team.

Oh man, forgot about that stupid-level sh!tshow from back in the day... wasn't that one of our prized high-star RBs at the time?Quote:

It was Nick Turner and he was better his freshman year than Norwood was. Turner got killed a few years later in a shooting I believe.Quote:

I know I say it all the time, but I'm going to say it again: Why should athletes be held to any academic standards different than any other student? Why should "we" have to take care of our athletes' academics? Isn't that something they should do themselves? "We" already provide them tutors ... shouldn't they be grateful and take advantage?Quote:

I suspect both individuals will receive similar punishment. Let's just hope the professor wasn't complicit.Quote:

And no I don't believe you should have to completely take care of their academics, but if you don't do it some other school is going to. Nick will be playing for someone else and I'd be willing to bet it'll be in Oxford, MS if he's interested.Quote:

Turner was known as "Quick Nick" and had a great Freshman year. He was one of the 1st, if not the 1st that Sly cut loose. He was killed in a drug deal gone bad in Atlanta, I think.Quote:
