It is engraved in a stone monument on the grounds of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

But this week, a cheating scandal involving dozens of cadets has ignited a fierce backlash over the academy’s decision to allow many of those involved to enter a rehabilitation program. The ensuing debate has forced the elite institution’s alumni, instructors and families to wrestle with questions of integrity, responsibility and honor — principles at the very heart of West Point’s identity.

Army football players among 73 cadets who cheated on calculus final exam in May

Many of the Army West Point cadets who cheated on a calculus final exam in May are athletes at the school.

West Point officials said in a letter Wednesday that 55 of the 73 students who were caught cheating on the exam this spring were athletes. And among those 55, 24 are or were football players and 17 of those players are still on the team.

Some of the unidentified players caught cheating have played in football games this year because of an October rule change. And it’s possible that players implicated in the cheating scandal could also play on Thursday in the Liberty Bowl when Army takes on West Virginia.

Can I use things such as money when I was in HS and college, sure but to participate in that kind of fraudulent activity would be out of character and make me a hypocrite so I politely declined due to my personal principles. ;D O0
