Professors of Reddit, have you ever been pressured or forced to pass an athlete or other student by your athletics department or university administration? How did that go?
If you scroll down a little ways you'll also see someone talking about Cam Robinson and another Bama player being in class and doing well.
I thought it was pretty cool.

I taught at the university for 5 years while Shula and Saban were the coaches. I taught athletes from just about every sport we have, and I never received any pressure from athletics. Under Saban, some of the football players had an athletic department employee come by the class to make sure they were attending class.

Still happens. I had a class with Robert Lester and a few others and everyday right at the start a guy would come poke his head in the door and wave at them making sure they were there.

I know our golf, softball and gymnastics teams are renowned for having some of the best GPAs in the country.

But according to the rest of the SECr our players are all illiterates who don't even know where the academic buildings are, so that can't be right.

Yeah guys I'm sure we're way different from all the other SEC schools.
Let's get our heads out of the sand Cody was on national TV and didn't know his major. Did you hear Upshaw? Just because they make the players go to class doesn't mean those players should actually be in those classes to begin with.

What is your point? I think I will take an actual teacher's opinion over yours.
