Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1171917, member: 27"] Well said. I have tried to give itsbotime the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes in its quest to land the big story, the media makes a major mistake and is just dead wrong, running a story with factual inaccuracies during to bad fact checking, inability to get additional sources to verify info, etc. We saw that with the disastrous story ESPN ran that destroyed Mark Schwartz' career as a creditable journalist. At this point, any attempt to pooh pooh what has happened is foolish. This is the biggest academic scandal in the history of college sports and UNC needs to be punished severely to ensure these kind of unprecedented abuse never happens again. I hope the NCAA shows a spine and throws the book at the Tarheels. And then reinstates the penalties they originally put in place on Penn State times two. If they don't, they should just close up shop and dissolve. They serve no purpose otherwise. [/QUOTE]
