    My point is the punishment isn't effectively relayed to the students beforehand

    Please. Everyone is well aware that cheating puts you at risk with your school. Anyone who claims otherwise is willfully ignorant.

    I was actually talking to my daughter and her boyfriend about this last night (home for spring break, both MSU students - she is met, he is Mech Eng.). They are well aware of the ramifications of cheating on tests and the honor code - it is referred to in almost every class syllabus and emphasized by the instructors. My daughter told me that in her Chem class last semester, they shut down the mid term she was in and checked everyone for cheating material. Kicked out multiple kids for cheating. The cheating they describe as "usual" and "accepted" was similar to what I saw in my day - sharing of info and intel about tests, sharing old work/tests from profs who repeat themselves, etc. They said the cheating they see on tests is caught often, and gets punished regularly. Most of the in-test cheating they have seen is in STEM classes - especially the "weed out" classes - Chem, Cal, Physics.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    He was on the bench for A&M. Walked out with Q during Sr day festivities. He's been on the bench for every home game since the suspension. Hes still practicing with the team including yesterday morning before they left to go to Nashville.

    Well I am certain they wouldn't have an online class test during a damn game. They would have moved that test to a different time, then allowed the tutor to take it. Plausible deniability.

    OK, I suppose I just didn't notice. Do you think he made the trip to Nashville?

    No he hasn't made any road trips since he's been suspended.

    It really isn't common knowledge to 18-20 year olds that they'll get expelled from school and kicked off the team permanently and you know it's not. Just cause it's posted in a syllabus doesn't change that. If the University is gonna be hardcore about cheating then they need to post warnings and reminders not to do it all over the place and make announcements about it all the time or else don't be so hardcore about it. This could be a life changing punishment being handed out to Nick and if you think he actually thought he could possibly mess up that badly and he still did it I can't help you. Some people sure are choosey about the small amount of empathy they might ever have towards others.

    That's absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't have to be in the syllabus, college kids know the consequences of cheating. Even if they didn't, they had two years to read the syllabus. I am not saying I am not for second chances or anything; but playing the "He didn't know the consequences" card completely invalidates your point.

    Complete. Utter. Horseshit.
    The kids on campus know that the school is hard on kids about cheating on exams becuase they see it happen. They see kids get caught and get punished. Hell, this isn't even the first athlete kicked out of school over it (allegedly) in the last few years.

    It is, and I know that it is. Maybe things were different when you were in school, but nowadays every professor goes out of their way to talk about the consequences of cheating. Plus the athletes get all kinds of extra reminders of why they just can't cheat beyond what normal students get.

    You're probably right that Nick wasn't some diabolical mastermind who was trying to devalue other people's degrees and get away with it, but if the rumors about him cheating are true, he really doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    Every single student that even halfway pays attention is aware of the honor code and the remifications of cheating. It really isn’t some kind of secret. You’re taking a real risk when you cheat
