Based on the severity of our penalties, unc will have 20years of 1scholarship max, will have to pay restitution for all 3100 fake-class students tuition, and both sports and their coaches will be stripped of all wins.
I've been waiting for the NYT to do a piece & bring this back into focus. The highlight of Final Four weekend to me.
Sickening. Most likely true, but still sickening.Remember how much of a story all this was for SU in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2016? The entire media was waiting to spring this the week of Selection Sunday and then with our success repeatedly bringing it back up over and over, even when it was just rumors (remember the "throw a dart at the rule book" article?). Meanwhile, this singular article is the only mention I've heard about this in two back to back Final Four runs for UNC.
They will get off with a wrist slap. It is very obvious. NCAA has done everything possible to dodge having to punish them and without the media forcing them to be accountable, they will do nothing.
The "throw the dart" comment was especially stupid seeing how little was actually found.Remember how much of a story all this was for SU in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2016?

I don't think anyone is naive enough to think that various forms of academic impropriety don't go on nearly everywhere. From an athlete friendly class, professor or even a major. Athletes get hooked up. I'm still fascinated by the idea that guys like Anthony Davis and John Wall left UK with 3.5+ gpas.
But UNC was brazen in their systematic disregard for even a mirage of academic integrity. I've heard that academic curriculum doesn't fall under the NCAA infractions umbrella. Or that the UNC classes were offered to ALL students, not just athletes. So if SU had a tutor help write a paper for some non athletes as well as Fab, we'd be cool?
I still don't get why the hammer doesn't come down on the Heels. And not on the women's tennis team or whoever the NCAA is focused on.

I don't think UNC has got away with anything yet. The COI keeps issuing their infraction report(3 times I believe) and UNC just keeps delaying the process by asking for edits. I've read somewhere that they have spent 20 million so far on legal fees to fight this.
Seems the answer is anyone could've taken these classes. Our guys got treatment unique to them.
That being said the brazenness of this scheme is astounding.
Unc has the best lawyers in the country working on this. There's literally no point in me trying to debunk most of the garbage in that article because people are going to believe what they want to believe. But don't be surprised when this is all said and done if the NCAA aren't the ones looking like the real "criminals".
Athletes and non athletes took no show / free grade classes partially taxpayer funded for over a quarter of a century. No one is disputing that. Just a matter of what the NCAA control of it is.

If you say so.

best outcome: we get our wins back
