re: Which (if any) SEC schools have fake classes for athletes

I never know how to respond to stuff like this. On one hand, I have zero doubt Franklin would have been down for fake classes. On the other hand, I seriously doubt Vandy admin would have, and there's no way Franklin had the power to pull off something like this without the admins.

I have a very good friend who was a former Vandy player in the early 00's. He goes back regularly to check up on the football team.

During Franklin's tenure, he told me about a big-time shift in academics which put a lot of Vandy players in classes outside of Vandy proper. Maybe Berry College or something like that? He joked that it was a whole different world from when he was there.

As for Kentucky, while I'm sure most athletes study with easier course loads or in less intensive majors than are available. I'm not sure how that's any different from any other liberal arts degree-seeking undergrad who spend approximately 45 hours a week drinking and smoking weed and approximately 15 hours a week on coursework.

Bud Dupree recently graduated with a degree in "Community Leadership and Development" from UK's Ag College, which I'm sure wasn't the world's most rigorous academic endeavor, but I'm positive that he had to attend classes and do coursework for it.
