Linda Bensel-Meyers and the University of Tennessee
Linda Bensel-Meyers was a tenured professor at the University of Tennessee when she blew the whistle on academic fraud for student athletes at Tennessee in 1999. She exposed rampant cases of steering athletes to easy courses, changing grades, arranging tutors to write papers and other academic favors. Despite vulgar emails, threats and other acts of intimidation, Bensel-Meyers remained at the University of Tennessee for three years before obtaining a position at the University of Denver.

More evidence of why Tennessee football changed it’s acceptance standards for athletics and ultimately, our recruiting and record today.

And these posts are for Volsack, and why out admissions changed for Athletics. This was the start of Fulmer’s end, and the 2nd half of the LSU SECCG.

This one was the start of the end to our heyday in the 1990’s.

Our issues started when UGA (Richt), UF (Urban), USC (Holtz), Bama (Saban), and LSU (Saban, Miles) all spent big $$$ to hire coaches while we went shopping in the bargain bin...

And they got players in school we used to get because we stopped letting them in. Fulmer OWNED Richt and Holtz at USC. Never lost to Lou and maybe 1 time to Richt.

The decline started when Cut left and Sanders was promoted

I hereby nite this OP. Do we have a second?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Why is this relevant? We didn’t start sucking in 2002.

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Funny thing, 2002 is the year that Doug Dickey retired.

Dickey would have never let our football program go down in the ditch.

Fulmer was 3-5 against Richt

I dont think I've ever seen anyone make consecutive posts on their own thread basically answering themselves.

Fulmer was 3-5 against Richt. Back when we were kicking their arse all the time pre-Richt/post-Vince Dooley all the UGA people down here blamed this chick for their woes, magically these problems became less of an issue once they got a decent coach in Richt.

Do not confuse them with facts. It might cause those few remaining neurons to misfire.
