Another academic scandal; UNC is f-cked

Jim Harrick Jr. thinks you are going overboard with the academic rigor.

And did anyone catch that the class is actually paid for by the Navy? It isn't just North Carolina taxpayers chipping in for those championship banners.

 

Yvan eht nioj.

 

It would be nice if the N&O would list all the sports that had athletes enrolled in these classes. It sounds like this might go beyond hoops & football.

 

This pisses me off way more than the football players getting money/trips/jewelry crap. That someone inside the athletic department was trying to raise alarms and was shut down is awful. Not surprising, but awful.

I wish my alma mater would take the bull by the horns and be the first major athletics powerhouse to pull out of big time sports since the University of Chicago. At some point, some adult has to stand up and say enough is enough.

 

No doubt. I know this thought's been beaten to death, but it just amazes me the way the NCAA prioritizes violations. A kid trading a jersey for a tattoo is apparently a terrible offense to them, yet they can turn a blind eye to this immensely more serious and corrupt crap.

 

The NCAA is turning a blind eye to this? What gives you that impression?

 

Well, for starters, responses such as this one previously discussed on a seperate thread:

The NCAA already sanctioned North Carolina. And this is new evidence.

 

And now Rashad McCants publicly acknowledges what many suspected: He took the sham classes and would not have been eligible without them. I hope the university will finally take some serious corrective action and quit with the window dressing. I doubt it.

No NCAA Rules were broken, they didn't say the allegations were false or unfounded. cheating in class, on tracnscripts and making or keeping players eligible is Ok with the NCAa, as long as the players are African American and the course work (or lack thereof) is African American studies

 

This is some Dexter Manley-level shit.
