About to hit the fan at UNC...basketball and football academic fraud.

[05_never_again]

Not surprised. Not only did the NCAA not want to hit UNC anyway, they have a great "out" in that the classes were available to the general student body, not just student-athletes.

 

[GAVol]

Blue bloods win again.

 

[Boca Vol]

NCAA gon' NCAA!

It's about time for some of the non-blue-bloods give them the finger when they come knocking.

 

[Boston Vol]

Louisville should argue that non-athletes got to sleep with the hookers too.

It does set an interesting precedent, doesn't it?

Solid!

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I knew this was going to happen.

 

[UneducatedGuess]

UNC can commit known, systematic, academic fraud and get nothing?

No wonder the FBI rolled in behind the NCAA.

This is pathetic.

Go Vols

 

[Vol_til_I_die]

Yep. The powerhouses can do what they want.

There’s absolutely no way that AA will ever drop the hammer on any of thier cash cows no matter the sport.

FBI is looking at the financial crooks. The schools are just collateral damage to them. The NCAA probably will do all they can to protect and cover up their blue blood money generators like UNC and Duke. Pitino was way too sleazy to survive.

I've been saying it for a while now: the NCAA is out of the enforcement business.

NCAA would’ve tipped them off no doubt. What a waste of an organization.

Especially when they're the current national champs.

In short: The UNC Department of African and Afro-American Studies allowed thousands of paper courses to benefit all students that took them; therefore the NCAA could not rule that violations occurred. Zero sanction

Disagree. If this had happened at Kentucky, they would have lowered the boom.

They had a noble function in the beginning. They've morphed into a billion dollar, March Madness money grab. A lot of coaches and administrators are getting wealthy off of the NCAA.

Look at the subject (course) and you can tell the NCAA would get roasted because of the 'issues' going on in todays world

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

It won't hurt my feelings if the NCAA were to go out of business. Corrupt, sleazy organization.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Somewhere the Dirtless Man Dean Smith is laughing.

Tell that to Senior Drill

OMG, where'd you find your new avi? lol:

I don't think that was really the main problem in the end though (and I'm not trying to defend UNC by any means).

From what it sounds like, the NCAA's claim made was that UNC, through these (to quote) "sham" courses had offered the their athletes "impermissible benefits" over the average student. It looks like what turned up, though, was that the Department of African and Afro-American studies there was allowing this with all the students that took these courses, not just the athletes...so they would have to make the argument for pushing sanctioning due to "special benefits" when every single student also taking the same joke courses were also getting the same (of how these joke courses were graded and such).


(Also, the academic half of the university should be ashamed, because it's sounding like this department - one which likely receives money coming to the school from the state and DOE - is a joke of a department.)

You can't mess with basketball royalty...we all know everyone cheats and the better you are the better you cheat.
