I have no doubt in my mind that we have gone about this right way. I followed the UNC basketball scandal for years the biggest misconception is that they told the NCAA to F off but truthfully they welcomed them with open arms and had their own investigation on the matter in which both parties determined it was an academic accreditation issue not an improper benefits one since all students were allowed to take those fake classes not just athletes. The investigation lasted years and killed certain aspects of their recruiting.

Did they bend the rules in order to keep certain students eligible…of course they probably did but no overt proof as a result and they didn’t hide it and was compliant throughout the process.

We fired everyone involved, we have been compliant… We have no championships to take away during that time and now athletes are allowed to be paid. I expect to lose scholarships and be put on probation, but what can the ncaa do that we haven’t already endured already the past 15 years?

Doug Matthews pretty much said the same this morning. He believes they will offer up 10 scholarships for this year along with bowl game. He believes that along with firing everyone will be enough. We shall see.

AP says HB is the most steady option at QB after calling him too inconsistent like 3 days ago. So there's that.

So our steadiest option is...inconsistent? Does not say much good about the QB room as a whole.

Fall camp is going to be huge for us. Hype gotta mold a guy real quickly and I think he will...maybe not week 1, but by game 3-4 we'll have a well coached QB.

I ain’t a buying it. As old as you are, you have to have a few older grandchildren running around asking to borrow the old Buick.

That is complete nonsense….. North Carolina created the class to help student athletes….. they just had to let anyone sign up that wanted the class till it was full… they argued since the entire school was allowed to cheat that it wasn’t an ncaa isssue.

That’s exactly what I said… but they were upfront with the ncaa throughout the whole process which is what the point of this convo is about

Not just a right...it's a moral obligation.

Always got along fine with my 3 kids, but being a grandfather has an entirely different feel. The kids genuinely like you, and that's fun. You also have the ability to drop wisdom on them and they accept it. Love it.

The absolute best. As has been said, wish I had my grandchildren first. Different deal. Never fully understood it until it happened. Now they own me.

Wonderful. Congrats. There is nothing like holding a grandchild.

You’re exactly right, I can’t describe the difference in holding your grandchild vs your child. It’s a different kind of love. God is great in that we each have to opportunity to feel those different kinds of love.
