Without seeing specifics, my best guess is they're citing Auburn for the Psychology class "scandal" from years ago and just using that as an example.  I doubt very seriously there's anything new or different.

Second, these people are entitled dumbasses looking to make a killing in the name of changing the evil system that exploits the black athlete.  Let's say these faux classes are slipped in there by colleges to give the athlete and others the easy A.  I'm sure it goes on and probably at all the colleges they named, and more.  However, there is a huge difference in making something like that available and requiring the athlete to take them.  These people act like mindless, willing sheep being led to the slaughter.  You want the education offered?  Not promised.  Offered.  It's an opportunity afforded you in return for giving the school your best effort on the playing field.

You're supposedly an intelligent person.  If a class is put in front of you that you know is clearly not in your best interest as far as receiving an education and legit degree, then don't sign up.  Refuse to take it.  Take some responsibility for your own actions.

"lawsuit cites cases of alleged academic cheating at Syracuse, Berkeley, Michigan State University, University of Georgia, Auburn University, Florida State University, the University of Michigan and several other schools from Texas to Ohio, Kentucky to New Mexico."

So basically, it's any school that Alabammer has any shot at going head to head with in a recruiting battle, plus a few patsies to make it look random.

Jake had speed, he always the first to miss the tackle.
