So the reason Peyton sexually assaulted that trainer and has been so vindictive about her was probably because she had reported him for academic fraud previously:

Jamie Naughright wanted to overhaul disciplinary procedures for athletes at Tennessee, and she also approached administrators and coaches with plans for improving football players� GPAs. Her approaches were met with scorn and mockery. Head coach Philip Fulmer even gave back Naughright one of her proposals with �11-1, that�s all anybody cares about,� written on it.

So now I get where Fulmer cup comes from.

Fraud: a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.

No one believes star football players earn the grades they get (In the SEC) so if there is no deception there is no fraud. Plus academic fraud is justified when you are 11-1. This is just a way for the NCAA to look the other way when they are cashing checks with nine fing zeros before the decimal.

Look, I get it, some of you can't mute/change channels because you've dropped the dialing wand you use on the remote trying to scratch an itchy bed sore and now it's floating around in a corpulent rear end crack like sputnik but the non stop complaining about it got old ages ago.

Also, lol if you don't duct tape dual dialing wands to your index fingers and use them as chop sticks for ramen, noobs :smuggo:

It's also worth going through to the Washington Post article they link that has some more instructive details if you're not up on the mid-90s UTenn college football program.

The Post actually got Tegano to answer a question about the 94 class, and his response was:

quote:

Tegano still works at Tennessee as an associate athletics director. Reached by phone this week, he said he does not remember Naughright ever accusing Manning of cheating academically.

�It�s 20 years ago, and it�s hard to remember all this,� Tegano said.

He added, however, that he remembered the specific class in which the cheating allegation would have happened.

�It was a one-hour pass/fail class that was required of all athletes, and under no circumstances did Peyton Manning cheat. The class was based on attendance � It was an orientation class,� Tegano said. �Do you think he needed to cheat in a pass/fail class? � We�re talking about a man who graduated with one of the highest grade-point averages in his class.�

Well, that would seem to settle it. Unless....

quote:

In 1999, Tegano, who oversaw the tutoring of Tennessee athletes, was named in an ESPN story about Tennessee athletics officials ignoring reports of tutors doing schoolwork for football players. An English professor supported the allegations, but investigations by the school, the Southeastern Conference, and the NCAA found no infractions.

In 2001, Tennessee moved the tutoring program from the the athletic department to the university provost office, away from Tegano�s management.

�I was told � it was in the best interest of the university for the provost office to manage the academic support program,� Tegano said when the topic came up in his deposition.

In 2015, Manning donated $3 million to Tennessee in honor of Tegano and another longtime athletic employee. As a result of the donation, a new dining hall on campus will be named after Tegano.

Ah.
