OT: Auburn player tweets to pay for paper writing
February 16th, 2011 at 12:08 PM ^
While I knew a lot of people who had cottage paper writing industries for beer money, I don't think most of them would have taken on a revenue sport athlete as a client. They face a lot of scrutiny from all over (including a lot of professors who aren't that into sports) and I can promise you that LSA sanctions for people that got caught could be pretty severe.

If students are required to write a few pieces in class, it makes it really obvious who is cheating and who is doing their own work. Don't all profs routinely do this? Or are they so busy trying to read and grade 500 papers that they don't remember who is who and don't have time to keep a folder?

"A Michigan football player offered me good money to write papers for him. I accepted, being a broke college student."
First, that's pretty pathetic on its own.
"I didn't run around talking about it though..."
Really? Cause it seems like exactly what you are doing.

cool story brahh, enjoy your vodka and keep popping your collar. I cant wait for more of your sweet posts.
" i didn't round around talking about it"
It was 3 years ago, I've since graduated, and you'll notice I never gave a name out.

Yeah, I have no problem with students cheating, but heaven forbit they jokingly tweet about it.

31841 points worth of posts...I just got the urge to roll my eyes myself.

HS and College kids don't.
February 16th, 2011 at 12:09 PM ^
I'm guessing he's joking. I'm sure if he wanted someone to write his papers, that service is readily available without having to tweet for help.
February 16th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
says the NCAA doesn't think it's worth looking into
February 16th, 2011 at 12:27 PM ^
How can he afford to pay? All I've been hearing from college athletes is that they have to sell expensive memorabilia just to stay afloat and support their families.
February 16th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
curious to hear what people on here think is the worst thing an athlete can tweet...
"Skipping practice to hang with my boo"
"Skipping class.....again!"
February 16th, 2011 at 1:35 PM ^
"Doing lines with a prostitute in the back of TP's Escalade." or "My cuz was picked to dot the i for the Michigan game." I cannot figure out which is worse.

Think of the worst thing you could do and then imagine writing a 140 character confession as though you had just done it. Then change your name to a high-profile athlete. It's the same thing.

His dad tweeted this. The kid had no idea.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:08 PM ^
Someone didn't think it was funny....
February 16th, 2011 at 2:25 PM ^
SEC Commisioner pulled the plug on the internet along with Auburn AD with the help of their good friends at ESPN. Joke is not funny with $2.5bn on the line for the greatest conference in the history of sports conferences.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
Did anyone stop to think that maybe his dad sent the tweet? Who's to say young Jordan knew anything about it?
February 16th, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
He should of just texted cam newton, on who helped him write his.
February 16th, 2011 at 2:22 PM ^
As some on this board have already pointed out. Good joke or someone (maybe an Alabama fan in disguise) logged onto his computer. We all know that you do not have to write papers at SEC schools. I mean come on Guys, this Board know better than that.

I might be so inclined for the right price.
February 16th, 2011 at 5:43 PM ^
Who is paying him that he can pay?
February 16th, 2011 at 5:50 PM ^
Come on, this is Auburn. Why would you need anyone to write a paper for you, I don't even think the school is accredited.
February 16th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
Cam isnt even bothering to turn in papers any more.
