    If I'm an institution at this point I just start egregiously cheating and, if they NCAA comes snooping I say, "fuck you. You can't stop me." There's more than enough evidence that these people play favorites that you can drag into a courtroom.

    LOL. The NCAA just provided every school with a roadmap.

    As long as other students also benefit from academic fraud, it’s all good.

    Or by showing that the music department and math department provided hookers to their recruits

    The percentage of student athletes who benefited is so far greater than the percentage of student non-athletes as to present a sham defense. It was within the purview of the NCAA to make an intelligent deduction of reason from the facts. It was not in their interest to do so. Now ESPN and CBS Sports has cover to suck Roy's dick in public as if were the cure to hemorrhoids.

    Ask Roy Williams if he is a cheating son of a bitch or just a regular son of a bitch.

    Didn't all this go down before Roy was actually there?

    Started before Roy, continued when he got there.

    I've said it before, but if I was Clemson I'd be demanding the ACC go above and beyond the NCAA on this the way it did Clemson football in the 80s.

    Well, I am of the orange persuasion, and nothing would make me laugh until my gums bleed more than seeing them superior sonsabitches get their asses punished but good. However, as I understand the full story, the only reason the NCAA didn't go three years on that probation was because the ACC had assured it that it was going to add the third.

    However, UNC's having to see this whole in-house-sham-courses scam laid bare for all the world to see ... that's almost more pleasurable than a "vacated" national championship would have been.

    Not just a roadmap. Google Earth with street-view guidance.

    For dozens of schools -- maybe hundreds -- this report is the most instructive curriculum creator they could have ever hoped for.

    Yes, it's acknowledged that the classes were shams. The fraud and wrongdoing is all conceded.

    Instead, the NCAA based its ruling on the tortured logic that, because non-athletes could also take the sham classes, it was essentially a non-athletic matter outside their jurisdiction. What a great cheating loophole the NCAA just broadcast for everyone: "hey, if want to commit academic fraud, just make sure you let at least one regular student in on the scam and we won't touch you..."

    And if the thing was decided on those grounds, then why the fuck did it take the NCAA years and years to render this decision? That's a black and white thing they knew years ago.

    By far the most widespread and egregious case of academic fraud in NCAA history ...and they skate away. Unreal.
