The NCAA's decision to let Mississippi State off without a postseason ban while the University of Missouri received a bowl ban for a tutor completing coursework for 12 student-athletes has some up in arms.

We’ll probably have to abandon our Orange Bowl victory as a result of this.

Many places the lecture and lab are separate classes. Some majors may require the lecture and lab, while other majors may only require the lecture.

I work with a guy getting his BS online right now, and I asked him about this. The course work, book stuff, tests, etc are all online. He has to go to an approved remote school for the labs.

It was only a half serious question based upon reading the article. The tutor was doing everything for one of the athletes (which would infer the lab as well), and the professor didn't notice..……………?

Some schools offer basic bio labs online, believe it or not.

How do these "students" that commit academic "misconduct" not get expelled from school, and what is the legal difference between misconduct and fraud?

Asking for a friend.
