The horrible irony of all of this

[skyscraper]

Found in a footnote on page 32 of the report - the fraudulent class wasn't even needed.

At the hearing, there was significant discussion as to whether the student-athlete actually needed the additional summer course in order to meet NCAA initial eligibility requirements and/or admission to the institution.
The institution did not contest that the academic fraud occurred; only that the student-athlete did not ultimately need the course because one of his courses from a high school was recalculated to give him additional credit for having taken an honors course. Here, the institution was still required to report the academic fraud as a violation to the NCAA.
Moreover, it was not until after the fraudulent credit was obtained and the NCAA Eligibility Center had completed the student-athlete's certification that the institution realized that the course was not needed for eligibility purposes

We ought to use "Footnote 32" as Ponyfan's personal punchline when something goes inexplicably wrong

See Footnote 32

we suck at cheating
