Top Grades and No Class Time for Auburn Players

Just remember, these kids got their room and board and tuition paid entirely by the taxpayers of Alabama. While at the same time the state (and the Feds) were cutting education funding and assistance for students with the academic qualifications but without the requisite muscle power.

Shows our real priorities very clearly, I think.

In 2004, many Auburn athletes received high grades from one professor for courses that required little work.
