A reminder….lest we forget
August 16-17 begins the North Carolina administration, its football coach Fedora, its basketball coach Roy Williams and others including the chancellor appearing in front in front of the NCAA’s committee on infractions. I am taking the optimistic point of view expecting they will get their asses handed to them. Hopefully we will find out sooner than later after this week.

One week from Wednesday, North Carolina football coach Larry Fedora will be in Nashville, Tenn., to appear at UNC’s long-awaited hearing with the NCAA Committee on Infractions. It is not a trip, necessarily, that Fedora wanted to make during the middle of his team’s preseason.
“I knew it was a possibility,” he said recently. “You can look at every case across the country, and whoever’s in charge of football, whoever’s in charge of basketball – you know, they’re always there. I had a feeling. I was hoping it wouldn’t, but that’s just the way it happened.”
The university’s appearance before the infractions committee is essentially its trial date after a three-year NCAA investigation into how suspect African Studies courses benefited athletes, notably men’s basketball and football players, between 2002 and 2011.
