Fantastic series - unfortunately touched a bit too close to home for GW.

I think the NCAA needs to do a bit more with the true diploma mills (at least, if they want to keep on insisting on the term "student-athletes"). That said, as the story pointed out, there are some legitimate high schools being labeled as fake, even when they don't have any athletic programs, period.
