It means they are going to send in their in-house counsel William King and he will recommend Lightfoot, Franklin and White out of Birmingham.Who knows what exactly that means. Don’t have much respect for Sankey, comes off as cowardly.
I thought y’all did something wrong. Like give players books that were optional
Problem is, UNC denied it everything
motherfucker better with the grip he's making...
Lovie Smith was already doing well in recruiting the St Louis and East St Louis area.
Now these Mizzou sanctions combined with Illinois opening their shiny new football facility this upcoming Summer probably means Lovie should recruit even better.
Bryant has already said he isnt going anywhere
so eat a dick
My condolences to your downfield passing and screen games.
Consequently, the correspondence shows, many (UNC) officials downplayed, disputed or sometimes mocked reports that peeled off layers of the scheme. UNC or UNC system spokespersons sometimes fed that mindset in messages to trustees, UNC system leader Tom Ross and members of the board of governors.Wrong. UNC told the NCAA to stay in their lane in regards to academics.

Don't even go there...
At UNC, a missed clue, and a mantra: This was not about athletics
I chose him because according to simple searches on this topic, he was one of the first people to note there was a potential scandal at UNC in the first place.You just quoted a Dan Kane piece. You could have chosen anyone, but you chose him, a guy who was called out by the accrediting association as being a liar.
You don't go there. If you want to debate this, I'll do it to my hearts content.
Or you just don't understand the legalities of how UNC got away with nothing and that if this had been taken into a court of law, the NCAA would have lost.
In what way would the NCAA have lost? The NCAA had every right to throw the book at UNC for fake classes. Don’t give me the BS excuse that anyone could have taken those classes.
As for who could have taken the classes, 6 out of the first 9 semesters after the courses were offered enrolled ZERO athletes. That's right, nada, zip, zilch.
You are wrong on ALL accounts. The NCAA would have lost because in every legal sense, the courses were legitimate. Key word here is LEGAL. The NCAA doesn't accredit academic courses so have no power to deem courses illegitimate. They rely solely on the accrediting bodies and institutions themselves to tell them whether or not the courses are valid. When both the Southern Associations of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and UNC deemed the course credits would stand as valid, the NCAA had no legs to stand on. So speaking in legalities, the courses were legitimate.
At that point their only other out was to try and deem them an improper benefit except for one GLARING issue. The NCAA specifically wrote into bylaw 16.02.3 that benefit is "not a violation of NCAA legislation if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution's students or their relatives or friends or to a particular segment of the student body (e.g., foreign students, minority students) determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability".
Some people say UNC got out on a technicality or loophole. It's not a loophole when it's explicitly written in the bylaws. They simply can't accept that an organization founded on bylaws (NCAA), can't run around making sh*t up. The truth is, the NCAA had every intent on hammering UNC until they had their ass handed to them and realized they could NEVER win. They were left with nothing to punish UNC that would have aligned with their own written rules.

I’m not wrong on all accounts. The NCAA isn’t the justice system ethier and had no problem hammering PSU with a scholarship reduction and ban.
An UNC got out of it because a loophole. The rule you quoted proves that.
