uNC NOA

The NCAA should just force UNC to hire Jeff Bzdelik and be done with it.

Its a simple punishment that is just as bad as giving a program the death penalty.

From the article:

3) Men’s basketball is not out of the woods.

The NCAA’s notice doesn’t hit UNC with academic fraud, but it is defining “special arrangements” counselors used to enroll athletes in the bogus classes as impermissible benefits. The NCAA has cited these benefits as a major violation; in past cases they have brought heavy penalties.

The men’s basketball team appears to be tied to roughly 40 exhibits, judging by the academic support staff identified in them. Nearly all of the emails speak to athletes’ enrollments in AFAM classes and, in some cases, the grades they received.

Some emails appear to go beyond the AFAM classes. One shows Jan Boxill, former faculty chair and philosophy professor, changing grades “only slightly” for two athletes on a philosophy quiz in summer 2005.

Wayne Walden, the academic counselor brought from Kansas by head basketball coach Roy Williams in 2003 after he returned to Chapel Hill, is referenced in nearly 20 exhibits, and longtime tutor Janet Huffstetler’s name appears in 30.

“Coach Williams said he is 100 percent positive they’re not going to crack down on the men’s basketball team,” the 6-foot-10 Chapel Hill native said.

UNC recruit: "Coach Williams said he is 100 percent positive..."

How does he know 100%?
