They are a talented, likable group and deserve their title this year.

But SU's program is crippled for doing something not 1/100th as bad for a much shorter period of time than the school who won the title and played in back to back title games. I'm not upset UNC "got off" (and they may not if the NCAA ever resolves this), I'm mad at the injustice of it all. I'm mad one school gets to play by a different and much more favorable set of rules.

One term paper and drug testing vs. two decades of systematic academic fraud for the express purpose of flouting the NCAA's own eligibility rules.

And the school and the administration in Chapel Hill has been combative and arrogant in the face of overwhelming evidence against them. The NCAA arbitrarily enforces its own rules, and the most egregious rulebreaker is the one that escapes punishment (and is completely unapologetic about it).

So, NCAA: Either enforce your own rules, or let the schools police their own athletic departments. Whatever you decide, just be consistent.
