NCAA Investigation Reopened Against UNC

[livefaith]

No real expectations or hopes, just wondered if a recruit would be deterred or swayed at all by an NCAA investigation.

This.

Shared a few beers with a lawyer from Chapel Hill this weekend. He had been in litigation with the school a few times. He said he expects this stuff to the real bad, and he is a grad and big fan/supporter.

Hopefully not the same lawyer BeattieFeathers is friends with

The stars are lining up for us get get Shy and Kahlil. It's time to have a punishing DLine again...and keep it!

I would be pumped to add Tuttle. 2016 would be sick on the DL.

Don't get the reference? I know who Beattie Feathers was, but not sure of the story.

Help a Vol brother out!

UNC isnt a powerhouse. The NCAA will tear apart weaker teams for minor things, but will let the powerhouse programs go with a slap on the wrist

I think the NCAA's selective enforcement doesn't have as much to do with the strength of the program as it does the relationships between school administrators and the NCAA COI and governing body and the level of deception that the program under investigation engaged in. USC didn't get a slap on the wrist in 2010 and what Alabama was hit with in 2002 should have been stiffer but it was definitely not a slap on the wrist; ditto Auburn in 1993.

A poster on VN has screen name BeattieFeathers.

A while back BF created random thread about meeting with a prominent lawyer in Knoxville who had been a fan for roughly 70 yrs.

It was mildly entertaining.

With 1 and done in basketball, does academics really matter anymore ?

Reopening a case is real bad news for UNC. The NCAA is a bunch of bumbling fools but they don't see themselves as that so they'll charge in like they are all righteous & perfect. UNC is not a player in FB but certainly are in BB. I think they may be in some big trouble & if they can prove Williams knew about it, they'll collapse & it'll take years to recover.

FTR, the NCAA asked/invited McCants for an interview when they first started their investigation. He declined.

Bump. I think this ends up being a significant reason why Tuttle picks Vols over UNC.

Maybe how Bruce got slammed when the Miami football fiasco was going on?

Interesting too how Jim Calhoun got off clean while being guilty of just as much, if not more than Bruce.
