Willingham herself, when called out, changed her story about the paper. If you check page one you will see that I called the paper's credibility into question from the start. There are numerous problems with the paper, namely-

-It is at least 8 years old, and the course it was allegedly written for predates Willingham's tenure at the university. How did she get her hands on a paper that is 8+ years old from a time period when she wasn't even at the university? 
-On ESPN and HBO, Willingham was using the paper as evidence of shoddy "paper classes." AFAM 41 was never a "paper class" or a "no show class" (Willingham has been forced to admit this in the past 48 hours). AFAM 41 was a huge lecture class that met regularly, had hundreds of students, and multiple assignments. Moreover, it had a final exam at the end, not a final paper. The paper that she produced had "Final Paper" on the top. Willingham has since admitted that the paper was part of a take-home assignment, and was not, in fact, a "final paper" as originally claimed.
-Willingham initially implied that the student got an A- for the paper. In fact, she has been forced to clarify that the student got an A- in the class, that the paper was a "draft", and that she doesn't even know if it was ever turned in or what the student got on it. 
-The paper has no name, date, identification number.

All things considered, there is a high probability that the paper didn't come from an athlete at all and is a fake. There is nothing to tie it to an athlete except for Willingham's word, when she wasn't at UNC at the time and has changed her story numerous times so far.
