Check this out--a player's grade gets changed without the professor's knowledge.
It's bad when corrupt individual professors help keep kids eligible. It's an utter lack of institutional control when someone else changes their grades.
Note it's not necessarily a fb player, just a athlete on a scholly.

AUBURN, Ala., Dec. 7 — An internal audit at Auburn University found that a grade for a scholarship athlete was changed without the knowledge of the professor, raising the athlete’s average in the final semester just over the 2.0 minimum for graduation.
The grade, which was changed to an A from an incomplete, was one of four A’s the athlete received in the spring semester of 2003. None of the courses required classroom attendance.
The athlete, who was not identified because of privacy laws, received the other three A’s in directed-readings courses supervised by Professor Thomas Petee. Petee was forced to resign as chairman of the sociology department in August because of “poor judgment” in the number of his directed-readings classes, one-on-one courses similar to independent study.
