NCAA investigating 20 schools for academic fraud

Yikes

"The cases are at various stages, from preliminary inquiry to awaiting a hearing with the Division I Committee on Infractions, and they involve a variety of missteps, including allegations that players received impermissible assistance from professors, academic advisers, or people outside of an athletic department. Eighteen of the cases are in Division I, one is in Division II, and one is in Division III. The official declined to name any of the colleges.

Last month Jonathan Duncan, the NCAA’s vice president for enforcement, said the association was investigating potential academic violations at 12 to 15 colleges.

In an interview on Tuesday, NCAA officials said they were looking at alleged academic misconduct in 20 athletic programs."

I've gotten to the point where I accept that this stuff is really just pro sports.

Too much moralizing in college sports. Every fan base thinks their schools is Holy U.

Time to draw up contracts, treat these guys as employees and some schools may see it fit 'gasp' to not require their athletes to take classes.

Obviously a direct result of the SEC bowl season results. The other conferences must be cheating.
