UNC and the NCAA

[Hitman Hart]

 

[The Q]

They're gonna get a slap on the wrist, whereas almost anyone else would get the death penalty.

This isn't a one time payment to some poor kid to get him on campus for 1-2 years.

This was ruthlessly coordinated cheating across multiple sports for 2 decades.

Anything less than the titles being stripped, the wins vacated, a lengthy suspension for williams, multi-year post season pan and about 20 scholarships over the next 4-5 years is a joke.

I'm calling a loss of 2 scholarships for 3 years, and probation aka basically nothing.

Well, get ready to laugh because the punishment that will be handed down is going to be a joke.

Just my opinion but I don't see the NCAA having the guts to bust a blue blood (right now) considering what all is going with Louisville and possibly Zona among other programs. The NCAA will only think about the $$$

Let me guess. The women's team has a post season ban since Sylvia Hatchell is ready to retire anyway and the men get to keep the Helms Trophy while raising another banner whipping the NCAA.

 

[Hitman Hart]

UNC skates.

 

[The Q]

They might as well have not have investigated.

With the way they wrote this crap there was no point.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Surprised this isn't getting more attention.

The NCAA should just drop the C

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Embarrassing response from the NCAA when the school got red handed.

 

[osubuckeye89]

What a joke. The NCAA is bogus as hell. "eh the FBI isn't involved here, so nothing to see"

 

[osubuckeye89]

So If Louisville offered prostitutes to all students, it would have been ok?

The most hilarious shit is part of the "punishment" was the NCAA gave the professor at the center of this shit a 5 year "Show cause" penalty. Which is epicly friggin meaningless considering he's not even associated with the athletic program. Bravo, NCAA!

A possible critical help to North Carolina in this case was the fact that former department chairman, Julius Nyang'oro -- the professor at the center of the controversy, who officially retired in July 2012 -- did not cooperate with the NCAA's investigation. Without subpoena power, and with no career in collegiate athletics, Nyang'oro was under no obligation to help the NCAA. He was given a five-year show-cause penalty, which is effectively a meaningless punishment as Nyang'oro is retired and not an athletic employee.

The tweet is from October 5th and from my recollection, it was just stating that the NCAA was set to announce UNC's penalties on a Friday.

I haven't followed this as closely as I probably should have.

With that said, I'm under the impression that the reason the NCAA could not act against UNC is because they could not connect the dots between the sham classes and UNC's coaching staff. There was probably reasonable doubt that Roy and Co. knew about these classes, even though that screams "likely story" to me. The NCAA has punished for schools for being ignorant in the past, though.

With Louisville, the NCAA was able to draw a connection between the strippers and Louisville's coaching staff.

UNC was probably a nightmare scenario for the NCAA.

LMFAO. I provide a link that says it's "University of North Carolina Tar Heels Official Athletic Site", yet I'm the one trying to fool someone. Maybe UNC needs to get their shit together and fix their website.

Right, you put a link from 2012. I put a . after the 2012 in your link because your link is over five years old. http://www.goheels.com/sports/2012./7/15/205439225.aspx

Again, UNC needs to fix their shit and there won't be any confusion.
