Corruption in America

[Burt has been unusually prolific of late. Please enjoy this extra bonus article also published today!]
By now I’m sure that even people who have less interest in college football than I, if such a thing is possible, are aware of the sex scandal that tore Penn State apart. It does not surprise me that Jerry Sandusky got away with his vile activity for so many years or that Joe Paterno and the college administrators basically turned a blind eye to it. College football, after all, is a cash cow that is far more sacred in America than the cattle that wander blithely through India’s countryside. Even when I was just a kid, a popular joke was that such college super stars as Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice, Doak Walker and Hugh McElhenny, would all have to take pay cuts when they turned pro.

In all the years since, I have yawned whenever the NCAA would suspend various programs for infractions which generally consisted of bribing their top athletes. It always seemed to me that the folks at the NCAA would periodically flip a coin to determine which college would next be targeted for their wrath. I mean, really, do you actually believe that any college can play by the rules and field a top-20 team year after year after year? It’s one thing for the NY Yankees or the Boston Red Sox to be competitive decade after decade when they pay their players more than everyone else. But how would a college manage to rule the roost when their best players have to move on after three or four years? Quite simply, by emulating New York and Boston and spending more money than the competition!

That being said, what I found most disgusting in the aftermath of the Penn State scandal was the fact that hundreds of students rioted on behalf of Mr. Paterno. Just because he kept turning out winning teams year after year, decade after decade, these young pinheads felt compelled to rally on his behalf, looking and acting exactly like the scumbags who comprise the Occupy Wall Street mob. But, unlike those unwashed morons, the students actually knew why they were out there creating mayhem in the streets. They were, by god, showing their unflagging support for a man who had kept a child rapist on his coaching staff!

I’m sure that in their defense, the young louts would say that Paterno wasn’t the pervert. But would they say the same if the coach had been employed not at Penn State, but at LSU or Alabama, Oregon or UCLA? Would they say the same about the many priests and cardinals who had never engaged in pedophilia, but who maintained their silence about the small number who did?

Elbert Hubbard once observed, “Every man is a damned fool for at least five minutes every day. Wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.” I’m afraid that the students at Penn State have already exceeded their limit for at least the next 50 years.

But it’s not just at Penn State that corruption runs rampant. Take a look at Washington, D.C., where any number of politicians who opposed ObamaCare nevertheless voted for it because they were bribed or intimidated by the likes of Harry (“It’s just business as usual”) Reid and Nancy (“You’ll find out what’s in the bill after it’s passed”) Pelosi.

Or consider Barack Obama who comes out four-square against what they call swag, which consists of souvenir pens, pins and cufflinks, handed out by politicians. But he sends his family off to Africa at a cost to tax payers of $800,000. He then uses tax dollars to buy two buses so that he can conduct presidential business — business that apparently can only be conducted in what figure to be swing states in the 2012 election — thus saving the DNC’s war chest hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Or, for that matter, consider Solyndra, a beneficiary of 500 million tax dollars and personal visits by Obama and Biden, but which we’re told had nothing to do with the company being owned by a major Obama contributor.

But when it comes to corruption, unfortunately it’s not limited to Penn State and our nation’s capital. It seems that in New York, by the time they retire, 90% of railroad workers — including those who only held desk jobs — have applied for disability, which just happens to add $36,000 a year to their pension payments. In California, 82% of state troopers retire with some sort of disability. It almost makes you wonder why anyone would even dare consider taking such jobs. Am I the only person who worries about his health?

Finally, you have all these various women accusing Herman Cain of acting inappropriately. Not having been there at the time, I don’t know what he did or didn’t do. What I do know is that whenever a woman shows up in public joined at the hip with Gloria Allred, it is safe to assume that she either belongs in jail, a brothel or a psycho ward.

At this point, I suppose we should all be grateful that Anita Hill hasn’t yet come forward to claim that Mr. Cain once gave her a funny look.

MODS DELETE THIS THREAD, THERE IS A SCANDAL AT NC STATE AND WE ARE GIVING UNX AMMO TO FIRE BACK.


lmmfao @ the whole, or hole, god damn lot of them. fucking douchebags.


but i will say this. THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS HATE NC STATE. and i fucking love it. you've always been able to read in their condescending posts in the past that state was where the true hatred was. the media created duke/unx (no offense duke guys i know you hate them as much as we do) but now that hatred is back in full fucking force, yeah i may run into the occassional dipshit blond chick unx fan who says "nc state's ok, but i hate duke" and i'll take her home for the night, but those guys, THOSE GUYS, the true unxers.......alumni, legacies, they will be coming full force at nc state again. looking for a comeback of the old "duke is puke and wake is fake, but the team i hate is nc state" bumper stickers any day now.


LMMFAO

[Pookie]

during this entire process i have encountered numerous tarhole fans with varied responses, some knowing this was going to be pretty bad, all the way to the tarhole fans that don't care and many views in between. many of those "in between" i gave the benefit of the doubt that they probably just weren't well enough informed. that they had seen negative headlines but didn't read the content of the articles, preferring not to read anything negative about unc.
i understood that. i wouldn't want to continually read negative reports on nc state if nc state was in the position unc presently sits.
but this effort on the part of the lemmings over at Inside Cheating proves these "in betweeners" are simply morons. is there no one over there, not one person with the brains to stand up and say "guys, you're making yourselves, and vicariously unc, look even more stupid than we already look". is there no moderator on that board to read the idiocy of what is being posted and delete that thread?
they truly are the dumbest people on the face of the earth.

[wopacker1980]

The "end game" for the Idiot Central crowd is to somehow threaten State fans so we become the ones saying "can't we just put all this behind us?"
Its kinda like being bullied. "Well if you don't shut-up I'm gonna REALLY get YOU!"
LOL g@y@$$ wimpy faggots trying to play that card!

NO DICE!
This is the worst scandal in North carolina sports/education history and there is NO WAY we're letting this one die!

I think its proof positive that the 'flagship' is taking on water.

[DevilDJ]

Of the IC posts I've read ( I can only take small doses ) I've seen one ( maybe two ) that implored the others to stop with this crap. "KevinWilson" is a lunatic , btw. That said , it speaks volumes when they're more interested in finding dirt on State than they are with confessing their sins ( ALL of 'em! ) and cleaning up. They simply will not admit to the egregiousness of the violations nor confess to the need for major overhaul. They're also standing firm on the "rogue offenders" defense. Ya know , had they shown the slightest bit of culpability...had they been somewhat humble during this , they might've been able to garner a tiny bit of sympathy from somebody. As is , they just make it worse and continue to grow the public sentiment against 'em. Gotta love it.

A two-year-old clue into no-show classes at unc-Chapel Hill?

unc-Chapel Hill officials and others looking into the academic fraud at the university might want to take notice of a comment posted on a course evaluation website that students use to pick classes .

In April 2010, an anonymous student wrote this regarding Julius Nyang'oro's AFRI 370 class:

"I am taking the course by submitting a paper with Prof. Nyang'oro and it is a bit daunting. It has to be between 20-25 pages. I wish I was able to take the actual course with him."

The details match up with the university's investigation covering the period of 2007 to 2011 that found 54 no-show classes mostly offered by Nyang'oro, the longtime department chairman forced into retirement last month. The classes had little or no instruction, and Nyang'oro told students to write a paper to hand in at the end of the semester.

AFRI 370, known as Policy Problems in African Studies, does not turn up on that list. But other university records show that Nyang'oro was listed as teaching it in the spring 2010 semester. It is described as a course with "(l)ectures, readings, and research projects on one problem each semester concerning policy formation by African leaders or on United States–Africa policy issues."

Mike Rihani, a co-founder of Koofers, said there's no way a student could back date a comment, so it looks like this might have been the first apparent clue of a problem . But there was no grade information associated with that particular class on Koofers' site, something that tends to happen, Rihani said, when only a handful of students take a class.

We found the comment because we have been looking at Koofers and a similar website, MyEdu.com, to see if we can find grade data for the 54 no-show classes. We found 17 such courses between the two sites, held in the semesters unc-CH had reported, and in all but three we found no grades lower than a B-minus .

The other three classes listed nothing lower than a C-minus, and in percentages no greater than 14 percent.

Thirteen classes showed the percentage of students receiving A-minus or better was 64 percent or higher .

There are caveats to this information because we don't know if the data on each course reflects one class section or more, and Koofers does not report how many students were in each course. But the data tends to support suspicions that those who enrolled in these classes -- and that's predominately athletes -- had gotten good grades for doing the assigned work .

NCSU orientation classes for athletes a hot topic for carolina fans

unc-Chapel Hill fans tried to take a page out of their rival Wolfpack fans' notebook this week by using a message board to draw attention to what they view as suspect academics at N.C. State University . What they have focused on are two courses offered to athletes at NCSU, identified as USC 103 and USC 104. They found data from a course ranking website showing that no one received anything less than an A in the fall 2011 semester, and one of the instructors is also an academic coordinator for football players.

So are these classes 'gimmes' for athletes? Not according to Carrie Leger, the director of NCSU's Academic Support Program for Student Athletes.

What they amount to, she said, are the same university orientation classes that many incoming N.C. State students take -- USC 101 and USC 102 -- that are each worth one credit hour. The typical course at most universities is worth three credit hours.

USC 103 and USC 104 are designed for freshman student athletes, she said, because their academic experience is complicated by the hours they spend practicing and competing, and because of NCAA requirements they have to fulfill to remain eligible to play

Having a course specifically for student athletes is and has been a best practice," Leger said. "I'm 15 years into the profession, and it has been an effective good practice in all those years."

She said many colleges have similar classes, and some allow up to three credit hours for them. The orientation classes do count toward a student's grade point average.
Not everyone takes USC 102 or USC 104, she said. Just those who still haven't picked a major, or anticipate changing to another major.

She said academic counselors teach the classes, just as academic counselors in NCSU's First Year College teach the orientation classes for nonathletes.

She released average grades for both sets of classes that show similar academic performance:
From the period beginning with the fall 2008 semester and ending with the spring 2011 semester, nonathletes averaged a 3.53 and a 3.44 for USC 101 and USC 102, respectively, while athletes averaged a 3.64 and 3.38 for USC 103 and USC 104, respectively.

IOW , the tarhole nation continues to make themselves look foolish rather than actually trying to clean up a corrupt-azz program. Pathetic. Hilarious and sad too but pathetic nonetheless.

lol at holes.

hold on perv, dan kane should bust that PEDs story wide open any day now.

hold on perv, dan kane should bust that PEDs story wide open any day now.

One of the IC'ers promoting this half-baked sorry-azz excuse for a "plan" said he had already taken the story to other message boards and implored his fellow idiots to do the same. He also said , "This is about to get fun for a change." Wow. Don't know whether to shet or go blind. Always knew they were a pathetic lot but until this happened , I really had no idea whatsoever. Their reaction to all of this is way beyond my wildest expectations. Seriously. The gift that keeps giving is actually two-fold...there's the scandal itself ( not yet fully uncovered ) and the tarhole nation removing any doubt whatsoever they are batshet crazy. If we can get baseball involved , we'll have the trifecta.

state has classes specifically for athletes? gives them only A's? worth up to 3 credit hours?

N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien takes an academic jab at unc
By Graham Watson | Dr. Saturday – Fri, Aug 24, 2012 2:11 PM EDT

(AP)The rivalry between N.C. State and North carolina has been more exciting off the field than on it as of late.

Since N.C. State has won the past five meetings against the Tar Heels, calling the game a rivalry is a little inaccurate. But N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien is doing his best to keep things as spirited as he can.

During his weekly radio show earlier this week, O'Brien took a jab at North carolina's academic scandal. unc has been under investigation for multiple academic improprieties, including some classes in the African American Studies department that didn't have a professor or didn't require students to turn in any work except a final paper.

"We do go to class here at NC State," O'Brien said. "We have syllabuses and instructors that show up, so [the players] better be there."

Ouch.

N.C. State has done it's best to pick on its in-state rival whenever possible. In June, N.C. State put up several billboards in the Raleigh area that read "Welcome to our STATE" and last year O'Brien and unc interim coach Everett Withers exchanged barbs through the media.

New North carolina coach Larry Fedora, who came from Southern Miss, which got into its own billboard war with Ole Miss and Mississippi State, hasn't done much trash talking. That's probably good. Better see what his team can do on the field before he starts posturing off of it. Besides, if unc beats N.C. State for the first time since 2006, that should do all the talking for him.

THIS IS LIKE ROSIE O'DONNELL CALLING SALMA HEYAK AN UNATTRACTIVE SLOB. IF MY ALMA MATER WAS IN FULL CHORUS OF THE WIDEST AND DEEPEST ACADEMIC/ATHLETIC SCANDAL IN HISTORY.....I THINK I COULD MUSTER THE SELF CONTROL TO STFU ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, I AM VERY INTERESTED IN unc-CHEAT'S SCANDAL.....HAVE READ ABOUT ALL KINDS OF PRONGS OVER THE YEARS...AND I HONESTLY CANT KEEP UP ANYMORE. IT IS WAAAAYYYY TOO MUCH CHEATING TO COMPREHEND ANYMORE. GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK RULES, BREAK THEM ALL AND BADLY. THE CHEATING IS SO VAST. I THINK IT IS UNKNOWABLE.

AND PERT GRASPS FOR A STRAW ABOUT SOMETHING THAT EVEN IF IT IS A BS CLASS IS 1/10,000TH OF WHAT WAS/IS GOING ON AT unc-CHEAT. IT IS ALMOST TO THE POINT OF PITY AT THIS POINT. THERE IS SURELY A BATCH OF HAMMERS YET TO FALL. AND ALTHOUGH THEY WONT ADMIT IT, I THINK THESE unc NUTCASES MUST HAVE AN INKLING IN THEIR SUBCONSCIOUS THAT SOON THEY WILL HAVE TO HANG THEIR HAT ON THEIR OWN ACHIEVEMENTS RATHER THAN A CHEATING FANTASY CESSPOOL. AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS GONNA BE AS PAINFUL AS THEM ENDURING THIS WONDERFUL GIFT WE HAVE UNFOLDING BEFORE US.

[pertsix]

slowpacker doesn't understand the difference between academic contract fraud and student coursework dishonesty.


all students wrote graded papers according to assignment guidelines. some students got busted for cheating. not every student got an A.


oh, yeah, and the professor ALSO reported students AND student-athletes for student coursework dishonesty. that resulted in players getting BANNED and BOOTED from the team.

IF MY ALMA MATER WAS IN FULL CHORUS OF THE WIDEST AND DEEPEST ACADEMIC/ATHLETIC SCANDAL IN HISTORY

how many professors were involved in the "widest and deepest academic/athletic scandal"?


i mean, if we're counting dineros, state has us beat by about $20,000 in agent slush funds, not accounting for inflation or cash receipts from sneaker and ticket sales

[staugiedoggie]

not true at all

[DevilDJ]

not true at all

No , it's not. Geez Louise , we're goin' backwards again. Plus , since when does turning in an out-dated oft-plagiarized term paper fall into the category of , "all students wrote graded papers according to assignment guidelines?" This is the kind of parsing of words crap that unx has done from the get-go. Broad generalizations designed to make themselves look less complicit and bolster their "rogue offenders/media bias" defense. The reality is that athletes at unx were just damn-near incapable of flunking out and it wasn't because they were all such great students.
