The Facts:
Williams and other Auburn athletes received high grades from the same professor for sociology and criminology courses that didn't require them to attend classes or do much work, the New York Times reported. The university is investigating claims that the athletes were able to maintain eligibility and help boost the program's academic rankings by taking what are known as "directed-reading" classes.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Williams took two courses during the spring semester of his senior year in 2005 while spending much of his time on the road meeting with NFL teams. He had already completed his playing career at the time. "I didn't do nothing illegal or anything like that," Williams told the Times. "My work was good. It was definitely real work. ..." Other than perhaps serving as a minor distraction, this story shouldn't have much Fantasy impact.
