Harvard is bigger than sports and they''d be perfectly fine if all sports revenue disappeared overnight. SEC schools cannot claim the same thing.

They must be scraping the bottom of the barrel if we are getting hit with threads about Harvard.

If my memory serves correctly, this was an issue involving the student body as a whole, and not specific to athletes. But, my memory went with my hair and ain't what it used to be.

Amaker should have cheated better at Michigan and kept his job. Now he brings his stench to Harvard. If one looks closely at the academic backgrounds of his players at Harvard most do not deserve to be there. some diversity crap got those kids in. Student my butt?

I can't let this one slide. This was a school wide cheating scandal that happened to have 2 basketball players involved. Please troll responsibly.

Harvard---cheating, has to be just a rumor, no way.

the 2 Harvard BB players had no business being in Harvard anyway.

Ok, let's play a game called common sense. You tell me what the grade requirememts and test scores are for Harvard and tell me what the basketball players grades and test scores are. Then show that those two guys were lower than every person excepted into Harvard and you will be right. At a school like Harvard you don't think some rich guy or famous alum can't get their kid in there by just writing the school a fat check? Damn athletics, you don't think some average students are there because their parents are connected? Get real dude!

Then all diversity is doing is diluting and watering down a fine institution like Harvard. If those basketball players 2 parents wrote huge checks to Harvard I would find that amazing. Harvard hopefully has high standards for 99% of their students. The other 1% are probably admitted to keep some faction from protesting or rioting.

If Bill Gates, Donald Trump, or any rich guy wants their kid in an Ivy League school, grades be damned they'll find a way to get them in. There are a lot of brilliant students at Harvard but don't be naive man and think that connections don't matter. To single out 2 athletes you know nothing about when a campus wide cheating scandall is going on is ridiculous.
