    Technically, it was rules-related. She did the work but the professor allowed her more leeway than the University approved. Not her fault, the professor screwed up.

    • A star track athlete signs up for an online elective class that only meets on weekends during track season. Prof agrees to accept every assignment late? Looks kind of bad from the outside.

      Weird that they would only find out this was a problem so late in season. Did a school administrator have it in for athletes? Have there been some problems with other athletes at Oregon not taking real classes.

        Man, heck of a way to end your senior season. And for Oregon to learn about this policy. You would think the Professor has the ability to do what he did.

        • It also explains "outside my control" because she did the work (although maybe not on time) and it was back a ways in time.

            Exactly. Made an agreement, followed through on her end (as far as we know), and was blindsided. I'm guessing that Oregon doesn't accept special agreements for athletes because it smells of impropriety.

            • Update:



              Allegation No. 1 is that a professor within the University of Oregon anthropology department knowingly moved former Oregon track athlete Jasmine Todd’s grade from an “F” to a “B-” so she could remain eligible for competition in March of 2016. The NCAA states she competed in four contests while ineligible. Oregon later discovered the grade change and rescinded the grade and her degree.

              The violation is considered “Level II,” which is considered a significant breach of conduct.

              The NCAA’s notice of allegations says that a male professor “knowingly arranged for fraudulent academic credit or false transcripts,” in Todd’s “Anthropology 278: Scientific Racism” class. The professor’s name is redacted from the report, but 2016 course schedules indicate that adjunct professor Larry Ulibarri taught that class. Ulibarri was still teaching classes as of fall term 2017.
