As we reported earlier, when athletes pursue the same major, something known as clustering, it raises questions whether they are taking the classes they need for an education, or being steered to easy (or in the case of UNC-Chapel Hill, fake) classes that help keep them eligible.

Auburn had 35 different types of majors listed on its roster, making the Tigers second behind Virginia Tech for the most among the power programs.

This is a big part of what you wanted to say, so you should have led with it. You wanted the message to be "we aren't possibly skewing in favor of our players, we're doing it the right way b/c we are Auburn men".

Thursday, he sent a list of majors for the team. It shows the top four are Business, Exercise and Sport Science, Communications Studies and Criminal Justice, with 19, 17, 10 and 9 athletes respectively.

Great. Now look at the general student population at Alabama. Business, Communication Studies, and Criminal Justice are going to be among the top 5-7 majors on campus in general (Business & Comm Studies are both in top 5). And are you surprised that athletes want to major in Exercise & Sport Science? It's what they do and likely what some would like to do professionally when their playing days are over.

This is your M.O. Shite comes out against AU. No one really cares or thinks it's a big deal, but people mess with AU fans over it b/c they know someone like you will get riled up. Then you predictably come to the rescue of your team. When tRant smells blood in the water they swarm around you and mock your team harder. You deflect by finding whatever you can on Bama. It's a tired, predictable process with you. Have fun though.
