No, It's Cool, Professor; He's With Me

No, It's Cool, Professor; He's With Me
Florida State "doesn't know all the details" of the academic cheating scandal over which it has fired two employees. The offenses, uncovered over the course of a six-month investigation, range from athletes being given answers during tests to having tests taken for them by an employee of the athletic department.

USA Today politely used the phrase "improper academic assistance" to describe all of the wtfcheating. Admittedly this isn't all that shocking as far as athlete scandals go, and it's certainly not on par with rape or murder, but it's indicative of the double standard fostered by a system unable to accept that scholars and athletes have different objectives.

Then again, these aren’t football players. Whatever mystery sport these athletes play is veiled in secrecy. Maybe they're golfers; maybe they play shuffleboard. It doesn't particularly matter; what matters is that the rest of us, regardless of what we're good at, have to take our own damned tests.
