Message: [QUOTE="Dave85, post: 1921714, member: 3946"] I've heard the argument that it's not an athletic department issue but a University wide academic issue. So that's why the UNC classes are not a problem. But how can this argument hold any water when the students use those grades for academic eligibility requirements for NCAA play. It just makes no sense to me. "The reason? This was a scam that [I]all [/I]students benefited from, not just the athletes enrolled in the classes. There was also significant evidence that the students enrolled in these classes at least had to turn in something before being awarded a grade. Regardless of what the content of the turned in paper was, the fact that actual work had to be done makes it extremely difficult to prove academic fraud, and thus, the NCAA chose not to head down that road. So instead of academic fraud, the NCAA has chosen to describe what took place as "impermissible benefits to student-athletes that were not generally available to the student body.""

Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them “why do you all push us around?” The police officer replied and said “I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest.[/SIZE][/B] [/INDENT] [URL='http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2014/03/27/the_unc_fake_class_scandal_athlete_got_an_a_for_a_one_paragraph_paper.html']Here’s the Awful 146-Word “Essay” That Earned an A- for a UNC Jock[/URL] It's like text from a google search.
