As far as the course goes, no one had to go to it because it was an online, independent study course. It required a paper at the end. Somewhat sketchy? Of course. But Michigan, Auburn, etc. did the same thing, and in all three cases (including UNC's), the NCAA stated that the courses were not a violation. Heck, NC State fans are the ones raising the biggest stink about the courses, when their QB (Glennon) took an entire semester of online courses when he was playing for the Wolfpack his senior year. Theoretically he never even had to step foot on campus except for practice and game days.
