this is not a cheap shot at F.S.

I was dumb struck by one statement and wanted to share..
The transcript includes an opening statement from school President T. K. Wetherell who said he didn't believe the students cheated, but that they got inappropriate help

I don't deny it happens at FSU, I just wish that other schools were scrutinized as closely,
because I know that FSU isn't the only place that college athletes get "inappropriate" help. ;)

It happens at most schools that have big sport programs. I remember when Jim McMahon was at BYU, there were a number of his teammates that needed "help". Not to mention that many of the players failed to live by the Student Conduct Code, which is grounds for dismissal from the school. They were fairly open about drinking, swearing, doing drugs and chasing women, which was overlooked because they were starters on the football team.

The tutor involved testified that some of involved athletes had a second grade reading level.
