Who will be the first to stereotype this in some sort of "players are all dumb and barely pass class" thing?

Keep in mind that Peppers was a 2 sport athlete at North Carolina and was a lock, even if he had an injury, to make a ton of money in pro sports.

I don't have any idea who well I would have done, especially freshman year, being a full time athlete and student at a very good university like UNC. Maybe it would have disciplined me to where I would be highly focused on sports and school to the exclusion of distractions. I could also see being focused on sports and distractions to the exclusion of school.

Peppers seems bright. Like someone else wrote, he was certainly bright enough to know what he needed to do.

Looks on the bright side. I bet Peppers never had to deal with a couple of rogue raccoons or a tractor tire sandbox!

I like his class selection. I wonder if his poor grades were due to discrimination?

Dude took algebra (and got an F), isn't algebra pretty much a requirement to get into college. It's on the entrance exams, at least it used to be.

Don't really understand this. I get it, they're looking at being sued for something similar/relevant/whatever, but ... who gives a shit?

I only attended 2 Universities in my days (4 if you count NU and Oakton for Summer school credits)

...but not sure of which school is giving "F+" or D+' as a final grade in any class?

Why does anyone care about his transcripts? Did his poor grades effect his ability to have a successful career so far? Why was this even released?

What's your point? I'm not seeing it. That didn't answer any of the three questions I asked.

Quote:
North Carolina is investigating how what appears to be a transcript for former football star Julius Peppers surfaced on the university's website.

In a statement Monday, the school said it has removed the link and that it couldn't discuss confidential student information covered by federal privacy laws. The school didn't confirm the authenticity of the partial grade summary, which lists Peppers' name at the top.

"Student academic records should never be accessible to the public, and the university is investigating reports of what appears to be a former student transcript on the university's website," the school said.

The link, which surfaced late Sunday, showed Peppers received some of his highest grades in classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM). A school investigation has since found fraud and poor oversight in 54 AFAM classes between summer 2007 and summer 2011, with football players making up more than a third of the enrollments and student-athletes making up 58 percent of the overall enrollments in those suspect classes.

Nine of the 10 classes in which Peppers earned a B-plus, B or B-minus that could've helped ensure his eligibility came in the AFAM department where he was majoring, according to the possible transcript. Three were listed as independent study classes, another problem area cited in the school's probe for a lack of supervision of work - often a research paper - performed by students.

The possible transcript lists a 1.824 GPA, beginning with classes during the summer of 1998 and finishing in the fall of 2001 during Peppers' last year on the football field for the Tar Heels under first-year coach John Bunting. The link lacked grades for five classes in summer and fall 2001 terms.

If authentic, the transcript would raise the possibility that the AFAM troubles go back much further than the four-year focus of the investigation, though the school's report in May acknowledged the misconduct could reach before 2007.

Carl Carey, Peppers' agent, didn't immediately return a call for comment Monday afternoon.

The link surfaced a day after The News & Observer of Raleigh published a story citing what the university called a "test transcript" used to help students and advisers with a computer program for determining courses needed for graduation. School officials told the newspaper it wasn't a real transcript for an actual student.

But the "test transcript" - which also dates to 2001 - mirrors the possible Peppers transcript and matches 34 of 36 classes, the newspaper reported Monday.

Peppers also played two seasons for the men's basketball team under Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty, serving as a reserve on the team that reached the Final Four in 2000.

Peppers was the No. 2 pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 2002 NFL Draft and spent eight seasons there. He signed with the Chicago Bears in 2010 and is a six-time Pro Bowl defensive end.

The school's investigation of the AFAM department began as an offshoot of the NCAA investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct in the football program, which began in June 2010. That probe ultimately led to the firing of coach Butch Davis last July, though Davis wasn't cited for a violation when the NCAA penalized the program in March with a one-year bowl ban and 15 scholarship reductions over three years.

Davis, who has denied knowledge of wrongdoing, has said he never steered players to take AFAM classes nor met former department chairman Julius Nyang'oro - whose name was linked to the grade rolls or as instructor of record for the majority of the suspect AFAM classes. Nyang'oro, who had led the department since 1997, resigned as department chairman last August and retired from the faculty in July.

The AFAM investigation also found unauthorized grade changes, reports of possibly forged faculty signatures on grade rolls and infrequent classes. The school has said there is no evidence of preferential treatment for student-athletes or grades awarded without written work in the suspect classes.

In June, NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn referred questions to the school when asked whether investigators would return to Chapel Hill. Osburn didn't immediately return an email for comment Monday.

The UNC board of governors - who oversee the 17-campus public university system - has appointed a four-member panel to review the school's investigation of the AFAM irregularities. The school has also imposed stricter standards on independent study coursework, among other changes.

It's when you go to class the first day to pick up your syllabus then miss every following class to "independently study" during football practice.

To be fair, there are a number of members on this board who also would not succeed in African-American studies. I have compiled a list that I will be sending to Spmack via text in a moment.
