I find it interesting that this guy is a 'former' student. That makes for a pretty convenient time to come out with this, doesn't it? I guess he didn't have the testicular fortitude to stand up in the middle of the pop quiz and say, 'No Portis! Stop copying my answers!'. I mean, did he knowingly let him cheat? If so, was he allowed to graduate, or did he get kicked out of school?? Don't get me wrong, I don't condone cheating by any means, but if you know it's happening, grow a pair and speak up when it happens!

I agree. This all seems fishy, but the dude did admit to cheating. So off he goes.

You're right at least he admitted he cheated. Most spoiled atheletes would never had admitted it..Sounds like a standup guy who made a mistake.

Maryland always seems to have issues!

Seems as though Maryland adheres to certain standards that other school brush under the rug.

It's not his fault..that is acceptable at Florida...

hey Truth, Do they even require class in the SEC?

Boomer did the same thing!!! Only the professors game him the answers inside that envelope with the cash....

They require classes....knitting...pottery.... ;-)

Every athlete gets "special" attention and if you say that is BS then I got some ocean front property in Arizona for you, does not matter what division, it is the truth

The TRUTH was able to obtain a copy of the Maryland Football Team's suggested course list for 2007-2008 Academic Year:

1) Performance Enhancers and You
2)Economics:A Case Study-How Much Can Coach Friedgen Really Eat at an All You Can Eat Buffet?
3) Sociology (Every student-athlete's staple course)
4) Oceanography (Why you REALLY should Fear the Turtle)

Common, who cares, this isnt news... One college kid coppies off another college kid... big F'n Deal... Im sure this kid has come to a test with a hat on a little low so he could peak at someone elses paper at least at some point in his life.

Where is my personal fav. Coaching Football, this is an actual course, I took it while in school and its full semester, full credit...

You think thats a good one, have a look at Sports Psychology...

Hell I did that all the time.

And someone please get that man a dozen baconators at Wendy's.

Ralph's face looks like 50 lbs. of meat stuffed in a 5 lb. bag.

Got him a big head.

How about this....
1. An athelete who admits wrong doings
2. a Dean who can punish students
3. An athletic program that cant save a starter from this...

I spent 11 yrs as a student, and another 11 teaching in college, and never saw this.......

Yeah, stand up over a stupid pop quiz and overnight become the most hated kid on campus. You wanna know why he waited until he wasn't there anymore? There you go.

I'm impressed the kid admitted to it. And that Maryland didn't try to cover up. Good for both of them.

I, as a student, would much rather take a 0 than cheat on a test and get a 100. What that student did was despicable.
