State story from my past.

Living in EL at the time I decided to do a continuing ed course in satellite topography with a bunch of undergrads. It was about 50% online. The why isn't really important.

What I didn't know at the time was that the final exam answers had been posted on one of the student run cheat websites for the past 4 years and allegedly not changed since then.

I went through all the readings, lectures and practicals because I was genuinely interested in learning (as a Michigan grad). When I received the final notes on the exam I had gotten three  questions wrong on a test I felt I had aced, so I went back through the test (had to go to the TA office to do so) to fix my understanding. 

The three questions were pulled directly from the lecture slides (which I had brought). I had the answer correct on all three, so I politely brought it up with the TA. At first she told me I must be mistaken, because everyone else got those three correct. On all three counts, the answer the entire class gave did not come from anywhere in the course material. (The two of us double checked). While the Prof agreed my answers were correct, he refused to address the issue so I brought it to the msu omnibudsmam office. They thanked me but said they would do nothing about it because a lot of kids were implicated and it would reflect bad on the U.

Compare that to the Michigan grad program I taught in. These kids paid $$$ to get into the program, I won't say which, and about 50% of one cohort got caught cheating. Every single one of them failed, and the leaders got thrown out of the progam.

It seems likely that this is Dantini's last season.   The Tressel pipeline ended, that is, he'd steer their plan B players to them...and now they're all long gone even after six years.  And southern Ohio pipeline has just dried up for them too, with Cinci and Kentucky pulling them.  He knows it's over.  He is standing on a cliff, and I will be very surprised if he is coaching next season.

I believe this same thing happened with a Wisconsin commit some years back. Big defensive tackle that washed out.
