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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
