How is Oregon dirtier? I really don't know.
The University of Nike. Just more the ridiculousness of amateur sports.

Ah. Ok got it.The University of Nike. Just more the ridiculousness of amateur sports.
And rebuttal to that defense would be to look at the percentage of revenue generating scholar athletes enrolled in the African American Studies program vs. the percentage from the student body as a whole. Mission statement of the program was to keep football and basketball players eligible.UNC's sole defense seems to be predicated on the misguided notion that since these classes were available to every student they provided no advantage to their "scholar" athletes. that is just absurd and goes to the heart of "institutional control". whoever's in charge of coordinating academics and compliance surely knew there was an issue involving candy grades at the school and never acted to correct it. 10x worse than what happened at SU.
Why don't you just say that is all FAKE NEWS.Like I said, you all will believe what you want and your mind is already made up so trying to engage in any kind of meaningful discourse is a waste of energy and will prob be fruitless. Needless to say the national media has been clueless to the actual facts of this case for a long long time and this nyt article is just hype generated on final four weekend, and does nothing but continue to parrot blatant lies that is only worthy of some second rate rag paper. Quite unfortunate.
But as I said unc has some heavy hitters on their side who by the time this is over will expose the NCAA hypocrisy for what it is and a field day will be had. Until then, you all can keep believing what you'd like.

:rolling:throw around cliches and parrot the official lines
I'm not going to pretend to understand all the nuances of this investigation. So what are you asserting is afoot?
NCAA witch hunt
Media conspiracy
Rogue administrator(s)
Something wrong involving UNC athletes, but excluding UNC men's hoops
Nothing wrong
Defective cans
he hates these cans!
While it sucks that UNC is not being treated nearly as harshly as SU for doing far worse, I still can't help but feel like "meh, so what?".
The athletes are on campus because of the sport they play. I don't understand the point of academic requirements aside from continuing the "student-athlete" charade.
If a "student-athlete" doesn't want to take advantage of his/her free education, then that should be his/her right. Just like every other student. This isn't high school.
Come on Budley - 9th grade classes in Africa = Wheelhouse.The N
NCAA kept a kid from playing for SU because he took a substandard class in high school, in Africa. But they can't do anything about a whole team of players who took substandard classes at NC for 4 years???
Guys, I'm dumber after reading this thread, and gotta be honest here, that's costly.
That's true actually.You need to go pro before you regress further...
"Kinda sad, because the current NC basketball team seems like it's filled with some pretty cool young men."
true but consider what the team would look like now had the NCAA acted promptly and accordingly and cut scholies and banned them from post season play? quite a different roster one would imagine.
and almost certainly not playing for another title. more likely vacating last years.
Give us a general time frame s'il vous plait.Just a fun aside here. I had dinner at a friend's house Saturday night, and is a big fan of UNC. I couldn't figure out the connection. He grew up in Florida near UF (that's his fav), did grad school in colorado and washington, but also roots for UNC when they aren't playing Florida. Turns out he did a research year at UNC and ended up living in the floor below the hoops team in the summer when they were working the hoops camps. He plays hoops as well and would end up playing with the team occasionally when they needed an extra body. Said it was hilarious when he would score on one of the players with the amount of grief the rest of the team gave him (he's a 5'9" white PG).
Also mentioned that all the players drove matching new Isuzu Rodeo's at the time. Some with personalized license plates. Nothing to see here though...
I don't know what you are implying, it is pure coincidence. They could all have the same taste and budget in vehicles.Just a fun aside here.
