I highly recommend enjoying the tournament. The rat In our AD who took out Nick is trying to implode
The entire Bryan Building. It?s a shame a SEC Atheltic Department runs such a loose ship. We need smart people in there. It?s obvious that we do not have people capable of running a power 5 conference.

Which goes back to my posts every time. We have to clean house. Compliance et. Al.

Homedog is just covering his ass in case nothing comes of this. He has nothing concrete or he’d say it. There was a tutor that has been kicked out of school that has reported that they took multiple tests for multiple student atheletes. The school is investigating this and if what she says is proven, they will suspend the players, HOWEVER if there is a way to explain any of it away, there will be no suspensions and they will be able to say that this tutor was “a pissed off student looking to take everyone down”

Can't we just send our defensive line over to the tutor's residence and have a friendly conversation where they convince said student of the ills of their ways?

Homedawg could certainly be wrong, just like anyone can be. With that said, he's almost always right. His sources are very good bc he's apparently pretty plugged in.

Pay her off and #FreeNick, or announce the suspension/expulsion so It won't be a distraction and we can move on.

A Bracky investigation is unlikely to turn out positive. The guy will probably stumble across some shit to suspend a few more starters for the tourney while digging into Nick. #FreeNickBenchBracky **

Why was she (the tutor) kicked out of school? And was she kicked out prior to making these accusations or after?

The tutor is female. Which is a problem in itself, but whatever. Desired male athletes should have male tutors, and vice versa

is done at Mississippi State. Not sure when the news will officially break but can confirm from a reliable source he will not play for the Bulldogs again. Related to an academic violation that the university considered too severe to allow reinstatement.

Lol.

Why can't we take care of our athletes academics, or did Nick just do something stupid?

Why in the world should the school have to take care of athletes' academics? They're supposed to be students, just like all of us are or were at one time. Is the school supposed to look the other way when they violate rules?? Athletes should be treated no better or no worse than any other student.

No, we need to have athletes that actually attend class and take their own tests. I find it really hard to believe that anybody thinks any other way. It's a university first and foremost.

Majored in Chemistry back in the old days. 26 hrs physics, 23hrs math and 70 odd hrs in chem counting labs. We didn't have calculators. Ahh, but we had the slide rule. Try storing something on that. Most of those tech profs handed out tests when you got to class that you completed on paper they handed out. You could bring a little scratch paper, but that's about all you could bring with you. Slide rule and scratch paper. Scared to try to cheat on chem profs like Sheely and Henley. Most made up new tests each semester. You could look for similarities as some old tests floated around, but generally hard to get. Sounds like much harder to cheat back then, especially with class sizes of 15-30. Profs were in control usually.

Most students never even considered cheating, and I never heard of a student being expelled for cheating. One of my freshmen roommates was kicked out for having a 0.0 GPA though. I had Sheely for both Chem I and II, and each was an auditorium class with more than 100 students. Physics and math classes were smaller (maybe 30 students), and the more specialized the courses were, the smaller they were. Some of my major courses just had 8 or 10 students.

Yeah, and I just got a personal comment telling me I'm terrible, I assume from 61. He can't ban me here. Funny, the board he DID ban me on on this site, I can post on now, which I do very infrequently. He can't. Blatant in your face cheating is demeaning to the university and to everyone that has a degree from it. We are a UNIVERSITY, an educational institution. We are not a minor league sports franchise.

Absolutely. And I can't believe that anyone thinks otherwise. They've already lowered the entrance standards that virtually anybody can get in school; let's hope they don't lower the EXIT standards.

I'm sure it's been discussed in this long thread, but I don't consider studying old tests to be cheating. If the professor is lazy enough to give the same tests every year, then he doesn't really need to be employed there.
