I know you guys want to see the hammer drop on UNC, but the argument they are making is fascinating.

There was no NCAA violation based on improper benefits for student-athletes because the b.s. class benefit was available to all students that cared to take them and in fact many many students availed themselves of the benefit.   Although, I suspect that the 29% number (% of students taking the courses that were athletes) that was mentioned is probably a higher ratio than the percentage of students who are athletes.

Is it a "fake" class, if its offered by the University?   Who in this context is to say that the course is sufficiently rigorous to warrant academic credit or not?    Presumably that is for the University to decide.    One would think that the University would in its own self interest require that the course work be legitimate.

The NCAA clearly doesn't and shouldn't be in the business of passing judgment on what constitutes legitimate college course work.   Of course, when you test the limits as UNC has done, than maybe the NCAA needs to get into that business.

What a mess!!
