8bucks Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Remember when we were complaining about the potential problems with the AAU affiliation and bumper stickers. There was someone at the NCAA who tweeted out a comment meant to shut us up and linked some article that was full of errors as if that settled things? I can’t remember all the details but I was pretty sure she was an IU grad and was now all high and mighty at the NCAA. She was like “duh of course IU should be penalized look this article says they did things.” That told me all I needed to know about the NCAA and their ability to reason or investigate.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 The following isn't connected to the FBI investigation but it does involve cheating at a number of schools. Because it involved some Hollywood people, I first thought it was some kind of joke or parody, but it does appear that the story is true as both ABC and NBC have released stories. https://abc7news.com/actresses-ceos-charged-in-alleged-college-admissions-scam/5186103/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/feds-uncover-massive-college-entrance-exam-cheating-plot-n982136 HoosierAloha 1 Quote

It appears to go like this: Big $, high achieving kid wants to get into high-level academic institution but doesn't quite make the grade. For a large bribe, the university pretends that the kid is an athlete and gets them in on an athletic preference, even though the kid can't actually play the sport. Just another, but opposite version of collegiate stupid human tricks. Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Mark Riddell director of college entrance exam preparation at IMG Academy has now been charged in the latest admissions scandal. IMG is where IU target Lester Quinones is enrolled but there is nothing to suggest Quinones was in any way one of the students who benefited from Riddell's activities. https://sports.yahoo.com/why-one-arrest-in-college-admissions-scandal-could-have-widespread-impact-in-sports-002401979.html Quote
