From the Raleigh paper...

Yup.

After punting UNC case, NCAA exposed as powerless, obsolete

What a joke. This daggum-it quote from Bubba is amazing:
“Sometimes the behavior that you’re not proud of just doesn’t quite fit into a bylaw or a rule or something,” North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said.

Relations between the Carolina schools, and their fans, are fixing to get ugly this basketball season.
The News and Observer is a State paper, essentially. They will go through massive amounts of Carolina blue ink dogging Chapel Hill.

This quote from the NCAA report might be better:

“The membership trusts academic entities to hold themselves accountable and report academic fraud to the NCAA and has chosen to constrain who decides what constitutes academic fraud,” the report reads. “Because of this limitation, UNC’s decision to support the courses as legitimate combined with a stale and incomplete record that does not allow the panel to drill down to the course and assignment level – even if the panel had wanted to second guess the courses – it can not conclude academic fraud occurred.”

UNC athletes have written term papers for fraudulent courses that are more coherent than that.

Basicallly , the courses aren't fraudulent unless the university itself turns itself in as having fraudulent courses ... what defines fraud is up to the perpetrator of said fraud .

It's actually quite millennialesque

Right. It's like the murderer gets to decide what constitutes a murder. Sure, the killer confessed, but he took it back so everything is good now. The whole thing is a crime.
