If UNC wasn't facing the NCAA sanctions because of a decade plus of systemic academic fraud, for which it might get less of a penalty than SU did for a single term paper written in part for one of its players, then yes, I'd be inclined to agree wholeheartedly. Now there was the matter of two basketball players being paid to work at the YMCA, which wasn't accused of being a no show job, but apparently student athletes oughtn't to work in any capacity per the NCAA and be paid for it during the school year.  Which may be ok if your parents have disposable income but not if they are poor and can't give you an allowance to cover the many incidental items college students want and need. And the not calling the parents of whichever players violated the school's voluntary marijuana policy. These are all three relatively trivial violations for what was a decade of investigation by the NCAA into SU basketball. But if UNC isn't strongly penalized for its apparent academic transgressions, then the NCAA claiming to care about the student athletes' education is totally bogus.
