"Hoover is becoming a laughingstock," Hoover parent Bob Plummer told the newspaper.
Sam C. Pointer, a former federal judge heading up the Hoover investigation, expects the probe to continue into the school year. He outlined the areas of the investigation to newspaper on July 20.
•Grade changes by employees who are not teachers.
•Possible pressure on teachers to influence or change grades.
•Possible inappropriate preferential treatment of athletes.
•Possible problem areas in management and control of the Hoover football program.

A few years back in Texas a team forfeited a state title because there was a grade issue with one player on the roster. The player didn't play in the game but he was on the roster so the team forfeited the championship.
On a related note, I'm surprised that Miami Northwestern is keeping their 2006 state title. Their star player should have been inelligible. There was a massive cover-up. The principal was indicted on two felony counts of "official misconduct" and the entire coaching staff was fired this summer. YET . . . they keep the title. I have nothing against the kids and I wish them the best but I'd think this incident would tarnish the title and leave a sour taste in the mouths of the kids who won it. It seem to me the honorable thing to do would be to give it to the runner-up. Am I wrong?

Lost there whole Coaching staff. I think they got what they had coming to them. And yes you are wrong. because a program like Lake Brantley would never take a forfeited title. If they did that in the history books it would look like 6a was never played in 2006, because there would be no champion.
