CHAPEL HILL
University of Maryland President Wallace Loh said during an on-campus meeting last week that he would think that the NCAA investigation into UNC-Chapel Hill would ultimately lead to the NCAA levying the so-called death penalty against the university.
An individual who identified himself as a member of the University of Maryland faculty asked Loh how he could be certain that the university is protected from the corrupting influence of athletics. In response, Loh made an unprompted reference to UNC.
As president I sit over a number of dormant volcanoes, Loh said. One of them is an athletic scandal. It blows up, it blows up the university, its reputation, it blows up the president.
For the things that happened in North Carolina, its abysmal. I would think that this would lead to the implementation of the death penalty by the NCAA. But Im not in charge of that.
