As long as someone counted out the zeros in the "salary" part, I don't think he cared too much.

He's working as an elementary school custodian. I doubt there are too many zeroes to count. It's pretty sad although some folks did help him later.

Maybe all colleges should basically say we won't take any athletes whose admission data deviates more that 15% from our average.

I bet the low graduation rates would take care of themselves.

Oh, and going pro early doesn't count against the schools graduation rates if you left in good standing, as I understood the first article correctly.

It's pretty clear that Herrick didn't have anybody's academic interest in mind. It was his son, an assistant coach and PE instructor, who gave the infamous UGA Basketball exam with questions like "how much does a three point shot count in a basketball game?"

I would expect that the results from his era would be the worst at UGA.
