Remember the University of North Carolina's academic fraud that was much bigger than anybody originally thought?
Well, it turns out the Tarheels weren't the only institution of higher learning riding around cutting corners.
From Brad Wolverton of chronicle.com:
The National Collegiate Athletic Association is investigating allegations of academic misconduct on 20 campuses, the association’s head of enforcement told The Chronicle on Tuesday.
The cases are at various stages, from preliminary inquiry to awaiting a hearing with the Division I Committee on Infractions, and they involve a variety of missteps, including allegations that players received impermissible assistance from professors, academic advisers, or people outside of an athletic department. Eighteen of the cases are in Division I, one is in Division II, and one is in Division III. The official declined to name any of the colleges.
That sounds bad, and what's sad is it might just be the tip of the iceberg. And although nobody in the report is named, 97.1 The Fan's Lori Schmidt is reporting Ohio State is not under investigation.
