Shame, shame, shame, Florida State University
Check out this story about a cheating scandal that involves almost two dozen athletes at Florida State University.
Two athletic department academic assistance employees have already resigned; 23 athletes were implicated in cheating on tests given over the Internet, according to school officials.
Is anyone really surprised? I’m only surprised that the athletes got caught. Athletics have ruined the college experience. I really can’t believe some of the things that athletes are allowed to do in college. I’m highly doubtful that colleges are doing anything to help these athletes learn.
Have you heard some college athletes talk during interviews? It’s embarrassing. Thanks, Carmelo Anthony and Stephon Marbury…

For those of you who might be confused by steegness' comment, I believe he is referring to the fact that Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships. Am I right steegnesss?

I am indeed.
To some it's a stigma; I see it as a sign that the college as a whole has a deeper focus on academics than it might otherwise have.
That's not to demean academics at any D-I schools... but it is to demean the lack of totality given to the education side of the house.
