What he said. AU is not to blame for this.
Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs, when asked about the investigation, released a statement Thursday afternoon that read, "Auburn Athletics is committed to providing a quality academic experience for our student-athletes.

I think they misquoted Jacobs. What he meant to say was this....
"Auburn Athletics is committed to providing a quality academic experience, like the one James Brooks received, for our student-athletes."
Brooks is an illiterate former Auburn football player that somehow managed to get a "degree" while never seeing the inside of a class room (by his own account). Now that's an education. *barner )N(

Maybe you should check the latest APR rankings of the SEC schools before you throw rocks in glass houses.
This little nugget brought to you from a fan whose team has been placed on probation more than any other SEC school in history. Who has SACS knocking on the front door one day, yet is ranked number one in the SEC for APR scores and improved to a rate right up there with the likes of Duke and Boston College the next. Who pumps out players such as Mr. Irons who cant muster a score above a four, which is considered illiterate, on a ridiculously remedial test like the wonderlic. Keep it down home cuz, a Barn tradition.
Only one SEC football program finished among the top 10 in the country, Auburn. A year ago the Tigers finished fourth, which raised eyebrows especially after news broke of an academic scandal involving the distribution of grades in independent study classes.
Auburn’s APR score dropped from 981 to 967, which placed 10th, but was only one point ahead of Wake Forrest and Miami, and within five points or less of less of Cal, Notre Dame, Connecticut, Georgia, Texas Christian and Northwestern.
At least our glass is not tinted beyond recognition and reason.

You do realize that the SACS thing had nothing to do with grades or graduation rates don't you? Tying these together like there's a causal relationship of some sort makes as much sense as saying something like, "One day he was out mowing his grass and the next day he was playing checkers in the park. Suspicious." :roll:Who has SACS knocking on the front door one day, yet is ranked number one in the SEC for APR scores and improved to a rate right up there with the likes of Duke and Boston College the next.
Yes. And David Palmer was a Rhodes Scholar. I'd tell you to ask him yourself but neither you nor I would be able to understand a word he said.Who pumps out players such as Mr. Irons who can't muster a score above a four, which is considered illiterate, on a ridiculously remedial test like the wonderlic.

Yours aren't tinted. They're painted over completely. That's why you make up half truths.Only one SEC football program finished among the top 10 in the country, Auburn.

That depends on which method you use. If we use Auburn's method, then you're right. If we go by the Bama method of "anyone who names us" MNCs, then we've won two since the last time you did.CrimsonPirate said:TitanTiger said:...yet brought up from a fan whose team has been on probation twice since the last time Auburn was.ROLL TIDE FOREVER AMEN said:This little nugget brought to you from a fan whose team has been placed on probation more than any other SEC school in history.
Actually, RTFA is a fan whose team has been national champion seven times since the last time Auburn was.

This is well said tiger, but after reading the story in question. STORY
Then one could say the fresh road traks in ttown could be leading to a fresh cow pastor on the plains maybe. :wink:

PT, if I were you (or any other Auburn player/grad/supporter/coach/member of the faculty or admin) I'd just keep my mouth shut while I was on top. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.--I do enjoy it but I try to do it with class. I didn't fire the first smack in this thread did I?
BTW, James Brooks says hi. Since he can't type it I am doing it for him.--At least he can tell us hi. that's more than Sherm Williams can do from his jail cell.
