Pop passes are exploiting a rule from the 1990s.
Everyone is doing it, but officials will be cracking down.

Auburn Athletics department influences course offerings.
In early 2012, documents show, a panel performing a review of the Auburn political science department, which oversees public administration, expressed doubt that the major “contributes a great deal to the Department’s education mission.” In May, provost Timothy Boosinger sent a memo supporting a proposal to suspend the major by the end of the next school year.
In August, according to documents, the political science faculty voted 13-0 to remove public administration as an active major. The following March, Auburn’s academic program review committee, the final faculty body to review such proposals, voted 10-1 to place the major on “inactive status.”
But even as the proposal was zooming toward final approval, the athletic department had begun a campaign to reverse it. In February 2013, Waters, the department’s academic officer, sent an email to Jay Jacobs, the athletic director, that said it was “extremely important” that they plead their case with Boosinger and Auburn president Jay Gogue as soon as possible. On April 9, Waters and Jacobs met with Boosinger. Gogue wasn’t present.
...
Public administration majors account for less than 1% of Auburn’s undergraduate student body. But in the fall semester of 2013, documents show, 51% of the 111 students pursuing the degree were athletes. Among them were the football team’s starting quarterback and running back, its leading wide receiver and the three defensive players who led the team in interceptions, tackles and sacks.
It's not me, it's someone else.
No matter how Monday's game turns out, Mark May is bitter.

Texas will charge Texas Tech's band members admission.
Seems shitty of Texas, but apparently TT has been doing it to other teams already.

Florida players still have no idea who their teammates are.
Karma kicks Bret Bielema's ass.
This assclown tried to say OSU's schedule was weak and only the SEC could put 10 teams in the top 25.
Let's break that down...
The SEC put 10 teams into the top 25, but how are those teams picked? Is there some formula? No, it's just people making arbitrary rankings. People who watch ESPN. The same ESPN that has a multibillion dollar deal with the SEC and promotes them non-stop as the end all be all of college football. Remember that new college football playoff series they ran that featured ALL the SEC teams, and 1-3 teams from other conferences? Yeah, no bias there.
Here's a good article explaining how the arbitrary rankings ensure the SEC keeps "dominating" even though their actual record against other conferences is a LOT less impressive than you're being told.
And how did those 10 SEC teams do this weekend?
We already saw that #18 Arkansas lost.
The #6 ranked Auburn Tigers needed a TD in the last 30 seconds to tie a FCS school, and then overtime to win.
#23 squandered a 17 point lead to lose in overtime on their home field.
#2 wasn't particularly impressive against a nobody.
#10 beat a doormat...let's pretend that doormat isn't an SEC team (it is).
#14 beat #25.
#21 struggled to beat a nobody.
#17 and #16 looked good beating their mid-major opponents.
My point? The SEC gets overrated every year by people reading about their hype. Nobody has time to visit and study every college team, so a lot of their rankings are based on hearsay. It's why Auburn is probably the least successful top 5 team in history. Remember when they started the year in the top 5 and lost their first three games?
These arbitrary bullshit rankings make it seem like SEC teams play a tough schedule, when in fact, if you remove the arbitrary rankings their schedule is no more difficult than anyone else's.
If you ranked ten Big Ten teams in the top 25, it'd make OSU's weak schedule look daunting.
Smoke and mirrors.
In other news, Notre Dame lost their starting QB.

The Rutgers report shows the extent to which Flood went to avoid detection in his dealings with the professor: meeting off-campus; communicating only through private emails; and trying to swear others in the know about the grade-change scheme to secrecy. Not the actions of a man who says he simply didn’t know the rule about contacting a professor, and thus made an honest mistake. Nobody goes to those cloak-and-dagger lengths to keep something out of public view if they think they’re not doing something wrong.
Yeah, how is this guy not fired?
