BYUs online class cheaters getting younger
At 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, Jerrell Powe was a star high school football player busting through opponents schemes and the confines of a small Mississippi town. His ultimate destination was the NFL, where he could earn millions and avoid the drudgery of some dead-end job that otherwise loomed in his future.
But there was one block he couldnt get past to achieve his goal: He lacked the grades he needed to get to college, the last stop before the NFL.
Luckily, Brigham Young University was there to save him - or so he thought.
Powe, with a tutors assistance, took 14 classes through BYUs online distance learning program from January 2005 to July 2006, including reading comprehension, algebra and history. He received four As, even though the only other As he got in high school were in physical education classes.
