Ohio State found the fix for athletes needing to attend classes:
As long as the other students are allowed to take the same courses then we are good; online, fake, or what have you.
I’m sure that certain posters will be along to let us know that this is an isolated example and that collegiate athletics is “amateur.”
I don’t think that even the NCAA believes the scam anymore.
This is such a blatant violation of NCAA rules by THE Ohio State that UCF will get the death penalty.
By what stretch of the imagination is this a violation of NCAA rules?
I would venture that when these classes came into existence it was done so by "publish or perish" profs - not football coaches.
I know a Ga Tech student taking intro to Spanish this semester online. It’s a legit GT course, not Atlanta Metro or anything. But let’s face facts, we need to start cheating like the factories if we want to compete against the factories. We need to process players, we need bagman to get the players in school, and we need to do whatever it takes to graduate them. ATL baby.Online classes are fine? I think the norm for the tests these days is your webcam has to be on and there's a proctor on the other side. The software that delivers the test probably audits you with screen captures and restricts windows & tabs. Yeah you can still find ways to cheat but it wouldn't surprise me if most of these were open book anyways

Good.Just about our entire team takes online classes in the summer or fall from Atlanta Metro
Good.
Duke is doing the same btw. They can take up to 9 hours of non-Duke classes per semester.
