Baylor Probe Expands

A probe of academic fraud within Baylor’s basketball program could be evolving into a national scandal.

The Houston Chronicle reported that records obtained by the FBI as part the investigation are raising questions about correspondence credits earned by a halfdozen players at other schools, including the University of Texas, Syracuse and Texas-Pan American.

The center of ongoing scrutiny is Southeastern College of the Assemblies of God, a Lakeland, Fla., school that offered a correspondence algebra course taken by scores of junior college basketball players.
