How about The Department of the Easy Grade For Those Who Need Them. I know it's long but somehow seems appropriate.

I agree. Too, they were using former Gov. Jim Martin to lead the internal investigation, a person I have never had any faith in.

NCAA found NO ATHLETIC violations,there were numerous problems with the AFAM program. Granted a high number of athletes took the classes, but so did a lots of other students for an easy grade.

Penn State didn't have an "athletic violations" either, but the NCAA sure got involved in that case. Once again the NCAA shows it makes up the rules as it goes.
