I've read this post a couple of time and still can't figure out just what the poster is suggesting.

First of all, SU did violate some rules. I get why they did it. But they did do it and they confessed to it. The writing of term papers for Fab Melo by a secretary in the Athletic Department is not, IMO, a minor violation. It's certainly not the first time it's happened at a school. (John Thompson Jr had a ex-nun of the staff and I thought her primary job was writing term papers for the players. Have you ever heard Reggie Williams speak? The idea Reggie could write a satisfactory term paper for an upper division Georgetown class is a ridiculous concept.)

So we confessed and UNC hasn't yet. And we fans are supposed to be outraged at this?What is it that we are supposed to think or do?

Do we (the fans? the School?) just continue to complain about how unfair the treatment was. Does SU file a suit? (I'd feel a lot more enthusiastic about this if our own linen was spotless.)

Do we stop trying in basketball? After all, "What good is a Final Four run?" With the Tournament is rigged against us, it's pointless.

Let's stop complaining. Learn from our mistakes. Get to work. Accept that the world is unfair.

Do any of you really think Louisville is running a "clean" program with academically-qualified student athletes?
