That is normally what you do after a scandal,not repeating the same behavior.


I find it pretty fruitless to argue with Auburn fans.

This. I met and spoke with Vince Young while he was in college and he was extremely dumb.

I have a better idea: let the NFL start their own minor league and allow them to sign kids straight out of highschool, just like in baseball. Make all the colleges adhere to strict minimum academic standards that mirror those for their general student population.


that is a better idea.

the nfl ought to consider this and start the season in March until July. they could then feed those guys right into the NFL plus have year round football and a place for coaching development. win-win-win.

plus given how many fans of cfb never attended college but instead cheer for the home state, you could now give them something they could call their own.

why is it the NFL requires future players to go college given the one thing that will be destroyed in their NFL career is their brain?

Schools aren't supposed to be the ones teaching kids to read. That's the parents job. The schools are there to enhance the kids reading ability.

Many kids' parents are failing them. Not the schools. The schools have issues but how can a school be expected to teach a building full of neglected kids everything?

because college developing their bodies for the NFL, not their brains

pretty much the sole reason, NFL doesnt care about education, otherwise they would require a degree or 4 years

ouch. but sometimes freak shows are smarter than you think.

although hanging out with a North Korean dictator that recently gathered 300 people to observe his uncle and five others to be stripped naked, tied up and fed alive to 120 starving hunting dogs is deranged. I guess it took an hour for these men to be turned from healthy living men to bone but they stayed and watched.

frick Dennis Rodman... unless the plan is for Rodman to cap this fat dictator, if that happens I'll apologize.

We have quite a few things involving athletes.

AJ Green sold a jersey and served a 4 game suspension.

Google Kolton Houston.

Damon Evans got him a piece of white arse and got fired.

We handle ours.

I did a google search on Georgia Athletic scandals and also on Auburn athletic scandals. It would behoove you to do the same. After typing Auburn athletic scandals, the damn Google server blew to bits.

No it's not over my head.


Please don't bring up any kind of scandal to Georgia.

Y'all please continue to argue who graduates the biggest dumb asses.

And yes Harrick was a huge one. Although I don't follow basketball, I do know a little about it.

The exam is hilarious.

For anybody who's never seen it, type "Jim Harrick exam" into Google. You're welcome

Hey Dumbass, UGA had nothing to do with the players who enrolled and were not "college literate". That would be the parents, teachers and schools that these kids attended before they reached UGA. Maybe you should gloss over the OP's link again, and use a little reading comprehension.

And almost every post you have something negative to say about UGA. Obviously UGA touched you in the wrong place at some point in your life.
