Sad to see that you are an abator.
Kill the messenger but not the message.
What I am nailing you for is not OWNING the message. You attempted to "disguise" it in a generic post about the Big East (which is a conference, not a single team) and BCS Bowls.
You know why you linked that blog and so does everyone else. So why run from it? Be a man, own up to it, and title the post - USF's Moffitt Suspected of Cheating.
The way you did it was - to put it bluntly - pathetic and weak.
Cheers,
Neil
Sorry you didn't get it, (you usually do).
The AOL Big East Blog had only minor details to the USF situation plus had other articles on other Big East Teams.
I choose that one on purpose since it included all the other Big East Team info and didn't have all the damaging evidence as say the Tampa Tribune article from earlier today (
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/jan/04/...es-bulls).
Thought this would help lead the topic into a discussion about:
1) Should someone (NCAA, journalists or other organization) re-examine every major football program's academic standards and practices?
2) Should Div I-A Scholarship football players be allowed to take online classes?
3) If online classes are allowed, should every school follow FSU's new requirement that all online course exams be taken in a proctored testing center on campus with ID checks at the door?
4) Prior to this incident, I'm sure some FLA journalist, because of the FSU scandal, was going to investigate every FLA football program online course classwork and how many football players took online courses.
5) Schools are in a Catch-22 as online courses offer HUGE profit margins for institutions since no classroom space needs to be reserved 2-3 days per week and literally hundreds and hundreds of students will pay full tuition to take an "online" course.
Again Neil, I'm surprised you missed that.
