Her calls went straight to voicemail. Her texts went unreturned. By mid-morning on March 11, 2011, the mother of Auburn University star safety Mike McNeil felt the shudder of a parental alarm go off in her mind. Where was Melodie Campbell’s son? His college roommates hadn’t seen him. He was absent from team workouts. He hadn’t been admitted to a hospital. Vanished.

Academic fraud: Three players say that before the BCS Championship game the team was told that as many as nine of their teammates would not be able to play in the title game because they were academically ineligible. “We thought we would be without Mike Dyer because he said he was one of them, but Auburn found a way to make those dudes eligible,” says Mike Blanc, a teammate and roommate of Mike McNeil’s. Dyer’s name was cited by McNeil, too. Dyer did not respond to calls to his cell phone. Before the season, McNeil says he was given an F for attendance in a computer science. “I had B work but I missed too many classes; and I went to the instructor and said, ‘I really need this grade,’” says McNeil. “He said that he was sorry but he wouldn’t change it. I went to the person over him. She was in a position of power and backed up the instructor. I then told my counselor with the athletic department.” Within days, McNeil says, the grade was changed from an F to a C and he did not miss a game.

I guarantee you this shite happens everywhere. The scary part is a player is actually talking about it.

This is hilarious to read for the people that were on to see the most glaring of grammar mistakes you made earlier today.

There seems to be more former Auburn players willing to sling dirt on their school than anywhere else. Why is that?

The better question is "who cares?"

Why are you so surprised that the family of Mike McNeil is throwing this shite against the wall right now after their son fricked up his life? He needs to face what he did.

And LOL at the part about his potential NFL career. He was a linebacker stuck in a safeties body. He couldn't cover shite and ran a 4.8 40 yard dash. The only thing he could do was tackle and hit hard.
